200 Km High speed motorway

As requested, here is a sample of high speed motoring.

https://preview.redd.it/syxfnwon1vuh1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=1606ec6626082de4afd806113224a574d1186d7e

The average speed is slow as I entered the city to fill up and then took off home. It was night, traffic was low but I did find road works.

Note the consumption, but most important, the ICE efficiency.

The dip at the beginning is where I filled up, the next dip if the road works and the last two dips are the toll booths.

Clearly visible is where I used Cruise Control.

And according to the GPS, I was going uphill, from 80 to 240 meters above sea level.

Fuel consumption, per Km and average.

Engine RPM. All over the pace, being an E-CVT. The system main objective is to keep engine load maxxed, and there it does a good job.

Which translates to a very good BFSC over the whole trip.

A plugin Hybrid in the mountains

This is a repost, but I can share much more data.

Last year I went to Cannes, but decided to take the mountain road:

Road Map

The car reported this result:

The Car's computer

But I have an App, called Hybrid Assistant, which gives me a lot of information and collects a lot of data. I also made a program to collect the data and munch important information, which I decided to share with you.

Data in numbers

There are all the crude numbers, what impresses me is that 6 hours or 280 km were driven in EV, while only 110 km were driven with ICE.

State of Charge

On this chart, you can clearly see the state of charge of the battery during the trip.

Elevation profile

And matches the elevation profile of the trip

Speed

This is my speed .

Temperature

Engine temperature, among other things.

RPM

RPM and power output of the engine

BFSC

Last but not least, the BFSC of the engine.

Business trip to Milan and return

A business issue requested me to be onsite even if I could have done it remotely.

So I grabbed the car and went to the customer (first image).

Average 2.77 l/100 km (36,1 km/l 84,8 mpg 🇺🇸 101,9 mpg 🇬🇧)

Return was worse as it was raining (second image): 3,21 l/100 km (31,15 km/l 73,2 mpg 🇺🇸 87,9 mpg 🇬🇧) and I did not go home but went to my office in the city centre.

Average round trip: 2,9 l/100 km (34,5 km/l 81,1 mpg 🇺🇸 97,4 mpg 🇬🇧)

Sorry diesel fans.

Mi installo la wallbox

Sono ormai tre anni che ho una plugin e la carico con la presa Shuko alla presa che ho nel box.

Finché ero l’unico andava tutto bene, ma poi si è aggiunto una Leapmotor C10 e poi, ironia della sorte, un altra Prius.

Fatto sta che dobbiamo fare i turni che il salvavita da 10 A salta se carichiamo due auto contemporaneamente.

L’amministratore poi ci ha vietato di caricare le auto nel box, ma, essendo in Italia, nessuno lo ha ascoltato.

A me piace essere indipendente e mi ero messo d’accordo con un elettricista di tirare un cavo da 16A dal mio contatore casalingo verso il box e aggiungere una seconda Shuko.

Nel frattempo, leggo da qualche parte che è stato creato un bonus wallbox dove ti rimborsano il 80% del costo d’installazione.

Allora ho contattato due ditte, uno non mi ha manco cagato, l’altra è venuto subito a fare un sopralluogo.

Gli è venuto la pelle d’oca sapere che carichiamo le auto dalla presa del box perché quei cavi (la casa è del 2008) non sono progettati per tenere un alto carico per un lungo tempo.

Una verifica di IA ha confermato quelli che l’installatore ha detto.

Il progetto è fattibile, ho scelto la wallbox più figa, ho avuto il preventivo e l’ho accettato.

- predisposizione nuova linea
- installazione wallbox
- installazione e configurazione Power Management.
- Dichiarazione di conformità e progetto
- Fornitura Cavo UTP e accessori per collegamento PM

Venerdì 28 vengono a montarlo.

L’ho fatto non solo per essere indipendente, ma anche per la sicurezza e nel futuro, quando prenderò una EV, sono già predisposto.

Ho convinto anche all’altra Prius di farsi la wallbox, devo solo beccare il tizio con la Leapmotor.

Auto e Bici: due pesi e due misure

Superamento di linea continua? Benissimo!

Superamento di 10 o più km/h del limite (dove limite sensato, ovvero 95% delle strade)? Vai sereno!

Stare appiccicato a quello davanti anche se a velocità sostenuta? Ci mancherebbe!

Rischiare di creare incidenti seri, specialmente per gli utenti innocenti e corretti che ci circondano? Come no, prego!

Persona in bici che fa scorrettezza non grave e che in caso di incidente cagionerebbe principalmente danni a se stessa o che ti fa rallentare 20 secondi prima di poter superare in sicurezza? Al rogo, bastardo!

Rendetevi conto dell'ipocrisia

Ai guidatori falliti, senza affetto. Leonardo

BMW records historic speeds - evidence used in court.

In this story from the UK, data downloaded from the on board computer on the BMW X3M "logged him breaking safe speed limits on no fewer than eight separate occasions across a 12-month period". Whilst event data recording for 30 seconds before a crash is registered is common on modern cars, a 12 month period of historic speed data recorded by the car is news to me. I can't seem to find anything directly from BMW regarding this, does anyone know more?

This guy has a good point. If you have an eBike with a throttle and you don't even pedal it, it's a motorcycle.

Incidente a Torino

Corso Siracusa…

Una 500 si ferma al semaforo, la bisarca non se ne accorge, la tampona (distruggendola) e la BYD (da immatricolare) cade…

I love Italy/Italians, but y'all can't drive for shit.

Alright, bring it on.

Just landed in Rome and drove to Naples. Below some of the rules as I have observed them.

  1. I thought only England had specific cars made for them, but Italians have cars with the indicators absent! Very cool.

  2. In the off chance that someone indicates they are swapping a lane, it is customary to drive the next 5km with the indicator on.

  3. Overtaking on the right is recommended.

  4. In the speed lane but need your exit? Make sure to not indicate and randomly cut across all lanes at 70kph. Great succes.

  5. In the event you drive a Vespa, do not wear any protection besides a helmet. Meat crayon is the name of the game.

  6. If your car has less than 100 dents, you have not driven your car.

  7. You can drive through traffic with a car as you would with a motorcycle.

  8. Someone waiting for oncoming traffic to turn left? Be sure to start honking and overtake left or right as needed.

  9. On the topic of honking, this is more important than the steering wheel.

And 10. What is lacking in the driving department, you make up for in the food and friendliness department. I am however convinced you get your driver's license for free when buying bread.

From Bordeaux to Cognac on the motorway, then back through the coast

From Bordeaux to Cognac on the motorway, then back through the coast.

Casual holiday driving to visit a famous town and it’s chateaux, then off to the seaside to enjoy the beach and finally return home using the coastal road until we met the motorway again.

Attaching the map of the round trip.

Total 334.3 km, (209 miles) at an average of 60 km/h (37 mph) and an average of 2.8 l/100 km (84 mpg us or 100 mpg uk)

Absolutely love my Prius.

La nuova Audi A4 in realtà è un rebadging della Piaggio Ape.

Ho una casa vacanze in Valle D’Aosta e ogni volta che ci vado trovo delle Piaggio Ape sempre più insolite, ieri in un parcheggio ho trovato questa.
