Prius C

"Initial demand ... and the Aqua/Prius c is expected to be in short supply until Toyota increases production capacity."

The sales numbers of Aqua in Japan (Japan best selling vehicles in Jan, Feb, Mar 2012) say Toyota is increaing production capacity.

120V outlet option for Prius and Plug-in in America?

I came across this old article (2012). It says Toyota offered an option that made your Prius or Prius Plug-In, in effect, a mobile gasoline emergency generator! https://www.greenoptimistic.com/toyota-prius-is-now-an-emergency-backup-generator-20121025

How long did they offer this option? On what models? Did they offer it on the Prius V? Is it still offered in America?

IMO, there should be a mention of this somewhere in the Prius article. Phantom in ca (talk) 05:39, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

American vs British English

LucasA04 contends that the article used primarily American English instead of British English and he therefore changed the spelling of one instance of "fibres" to "fibers" and changed the infobox to use American spelling for curb/kerb weight (although that doesn't actually show up in this instance). Looking for common British/American spelling differences, I see 4 instances of "litre" and none of "liter", 1 instance of "metre" and none of "meter" and none of "colour" or "color". This looks more British than American to me. Did I miss some something? Stepho talk 01:01, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Stepho-wrs: Hm, I see, I will self-revert, but before I do that I want to tell you that you do not have to be so hurt about someone undoing your edit. I would have liked for you to talk to me on my talk page but you put me up on the chopping block by putting it here. I did not change the userbox in any way, you in fact changed the template parameter to UK. I was only undoing your edit, nothing more. LucasA04 (talk) 01:20, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not hurt. If I was hurt then I might call you an arsehole, comment on your country and enlighten you on your maternal ancestry. All of which, of course, would reflect more on me than on you. Instead, I merely presented the dry facts and even asked if it was me that had made a mistake.

I have found it far more useful to put all discussions about an article on the article's own talk page. That allows other people interested in that article to comment. Just in case there are aspects that both of us missed or aspects that could be usefully applied to other articles. All done respectfully and assuming good faith all 'round. It also avoids the feeling that others are making secret agreements and then springing them on us without warning.

Anyway, I'm glad we sorted it out amicably and thank you for the self-revert. Stepho talk 00:23, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stepho-wrs, Amicably? I would beg to differ but let's just call it that. I was only trying to improve the article, not to try to make a point or go against you. I actually like some of your words that you guys use, it sounds all proper and former and adds flavour(hehe) to my all-American vocabulary. LucasA04 (talk) 03:19, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I intended no nastiness to you and assumed no nastiness from you. My apologies it it came across wrong. We're all here to improve things. Stepho talk 10:08, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weird Preview Box

Hi all, I not an experienced Wikipedia editor so not sure how to fix this, but the floating preview box for the Prius page has been hijacked and appears to contain spam (not the main page; this is the little box that comes up when you hover over the hyperlink from another wiki page). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.83.145.57 (talk) 11:52, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not clear what you are tryign to say. Are you talking about links from this page to another or links from another page to here? Does it happen on links to/from many pages or just to/from specific pages? Can you narrow it down to a specific instance on a specific page? Stepho talk 22:16, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Battery reconditioning

I'm not able to find this topic for battery reconditioning in Wikipedia, but it's been recommended elsewhere as a way to extend battery life for NIMH and lithium batteries.

Here's a commercial site discussing the technologies:

Any thoughts?

Year it switch to lithium ion

There was a major improvement when it switched to lithium ion. What year was that and why is it not in the Wikipedia? 24.130.64.88 (talk) 04:09, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
