Electric vs hybrid

Here are some basic thumb rules how to compare run costs between electric and hybrid. You have to first find equivalent measuring. It might be liters per 100km with hybrid cars. Electric cars can be measured same way but liters are changed to electricity. Electric cars have same kind of test cycles than conventional cars do. Speaking solely of electric car range is bit misleading. That indicates size of battery pack among with consumption. Better to check consumption side to side.

iPhone wireless charging


Now when I am waiting the new Prius to be delivered I had some time to check what are available options for the iPhone to have wireless charging. This came an interesting idea since a new car has QI charging capabilities. And of course I want to use all these high tech features!

Prius review - Is this better than Hyundai Ioniq?



There is many reviews out already of all new Prius 2016, which describes car’s technical specs or other nice safety features. I am not going to tell these again. In this review you will get my first impressions of the car. This is one of the first cars that arrived in Finland. So the car is EU spec, which differs slightly what you get eg. in the USA. Our cars are always equipped with NiMH battery, while US spec cars mostly has Li-Ion.
