How does the standard V3 differ from the V3 GT?
If you often idle or sleep in your Prius, the standard V3 is the better choice. If you prefer heavy acceleration or want the best MPG possible, the V3 GT is the ideal option..
A more technical explanation:
The standard V3 uses cylindrical sodium-ion battery cells with a capacity of 9.8Ah to handle higher internal resistance (IR). In contrast, the V3 GT has a lower capacity of 7Ah but features ultra-low IR, resulting in higher efficiency and lower battery temperatures, which is beneficial for drivers with a heavy foot..
How NexPower V3 GT gives more MPG?
This is called SOC (state of charge) manipulation, NexPower V3 GT battery runs at a higher voltage range and keep the SOC above 60%, when the SOC is above 60%, the hybrid controller works harder to discharge the battery by using more battery power (and less gasoline) even during normal cruise. This power increases to around 30A (~6kW) at 70% SOC. Checkout following link for more detail: eea-phev.org
What is the expected MPG improvement?
The improvement depends on how effectively you utilize the electric power. Most customers report a combined city and highway MPG gain of around 10%. However, your mileage may vary, so this is not a guaranteed figure.
Why should I choose the NexPower V3 Sodium-ion over Toyota's stock NiMH?
The NexPower V3 pack offers better fuel efficiency and a more competitive price compared to the stock NiMH. While Toyota’s NiMH has an excellent track record, any installation mistakes can leave you without a second chance or the exceptional tech support that NexPower provides. Additionally, Toyota only offers a one-year warranty for DIYers.
Can NexPower battery turn my Prius into a Tesla fast?
No, even with V3 GT sodium-ion battery with ultra low internal resistance, your car is still Prius slow.
