Not Ranked
On the same subject of revs and cold engines......something I've wondered about regarding hybrids (like a Honda Prius): if the car is running slowly in city traffic, so I assume it's running predominantly on battery power....and then the driver wants full power. The petrol engine is stone cold and it's being told to go flat out. It sounds like the sort of treatment for a cold engine that makes us car guys wince.
Is that what happens...or is there an electric heater that keeps the petrol engine's coolant hot, or what?
Just wondering....and no I'm not going to buy one.
Cheers,
Glen
