Here you go again. Did we say the
prius has a "conventional" CVT


Yes.

No, you are still obviously not comprehending. It does not have a
conventional CVT gearbox. However it does have a gear system that allows
the drive ratio between engine and wheels to vary at will. Hence it is a
form of CVT.

You are still not there. A conventional CVT is in-line, raising and
lowering torque. This so called CV side is not raising and lower torque.
It, the power splitter, "combines" the power/torque of two motors to present
to the wheels, giving the characteristics of one electric motor.

Once again understand that. Do not write again until fully understood.

Comparing pathetic diesel engine cars to the Prius is grossly silly. The
Prius is so infinitely superior in all aspects.
