Energy flow from gas engine to wheels (& sometimes also to battery via motor/generator)
When the Insight is cruising at a constant speed and the Battery Module state of charge is relatively
low, some engine output is used by the IMA motor/generator being operated in
generation mode to charge
the Battery Module. Some of this energy will be delivered to the Insight's 12v accessories, via the DC-DC
converter, as necessary. In this state, the instrument display will show partial charging on the charge/assist
gauge.
When the Insight is cruising and the high-voltage battery is sufficiently charged, the IMA
motor/generator continues to turn but only a small amount of electricity is still generated. This electricity
will be used to supply the 12v accessories, and any excess energy will be used to slowly charge the Battery
Module. In this state, the instrument display will show no charging on the charge/assist gauge.
