HSD Electric Motors
In my 2006 Highlander Hybrid, I notice that immediately after starting, the "power gauge" shows ~50kW of energy being used under normal acceleration--with barely a peep from the engine.
After about 2 minutes of driving, pulling that much power significantly revs up the engine.
Is it just me, or does HSD allow temporary boosts in electric motor output at the beginning of drives when the engine is cold-started?
