Electric Vehicle, powered exclusively by a battery-pack charged before use

Fahrenheit, a measure of temperature, (F - 32) / 1.8 = C, -15°F = -26.11°C, 0°F = -17.78°C, 15°F = -9.44°C,

32°F = 0°C, 40°F = 4.44°C, 60°F = 15.56°C, 70°F = 21.11°C, 80°F = 26.67°C

FCHV

Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle, a fuel-cell vehicle that takes advantage of hybrid technology including the use of a

battery-pack

Fob

The device (introduced in 2004) used to unlock doors and start the hybrid system. By default, it works as a

wireless remote for unlocking and is inserted into a slot in the dashboard for starting. As an option, it can be

upgraded to control the SKS (formally known as SE/SS) feature. And note that there is actually a traditional

key within which can be used for unlocking the driver's door manually.

FUD

Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt

Full

Hybrid system with a large battery-pack, a small electric-motor, at least one large electric-motor, and a

gasoline-engine that combined provide a wide variety of combustion & electric propulsion abilities.

GPS

Global Positioning System, this is the part of the Prius Navigation System that identifies your exact location

on Earth.

Greenwash

To intentionally mislead with respect to environmental benefits.

HEV

Hybrid Electric Vehicle

HID

High Intensity Discharge, bulbs used for headlights; illumination is created using an arch electricity instead of a

traditional filament

HSD

Hybrid Synergy Drive - Toyota's modular hybrid design, currently implemented in the 2004-2007 Prius with

many more vehicles planned to also use it.

HOV

High Occupancy Vehicle - used to describe the restricted "diamond" lanes on highways

Horsepower, indicating a unit of power, a measurement different from torque

ICE

Internal Combustion Engine

IMA

Integrated Motor Assist - Honda's hybrid technology

Kilometer, a measure of distance, 1 kilometer is equal to 0.6214 mile

Kilowatt, an electrical measurement unit used when describing Prius power consumption & storage

LEV

Low Emission Vehicle, once the cleanest designation, but no surpassed by several levels of reduced emissions

L/100km

Liters per 100 kilometers, the more common unit of efficiency measurement outside of the US and UK

LMPG

Lifetime Miles Per Gallon

LRR

Low Rolling Resistant - used to describe minimum friction tires

Multi-Display - the touch-sensitive liquid-crystal screen on the dashboard of Prius

Mile, a measure of distance, 1 mile = 1.6093 kilometers

Motor Generator, an electric motor which can either provide motive power when electrically driven or generate

electricity when mechanically driven.

MG1

The smaller Prius electric motor. It is three-phase AC permanent-magnet synchronous motor/generator starts

the ICE, controls the CVT, and generates the electricity (by using thrust from the ICE and deceleration power

from slowing before the brake-pedal is pushed) to charge the battery-pack and/or feed the larger motor.

MG2

The larger Prius electric motor. It is three-phase AC permanent-magnet synchronous motor/generator drives

the wheels and generates electricity (from regenerative braking) to recharge the battery-pack.
