The Volt main electric motor is 111kW and the pack can discharge at 300+amps. The Prius motor is 60kW, barely more than 1/2 as much. The Volt...

So it's NOT all about savings, then? That was my point to SageBrush in post 38 and the start of the Cruze Eco comparison. I paid $1050 for an '86...

Do you berate a new Prius owner who traded in an LX570 too? gwmort is an ex Prius owner. My impression is that I'm an outlier among Volt...
I think you did, although I don't really like "MPGe" as a metric once you mix in real gasoline usage. It's interesting in a thought-exercise way...
Anyway, back on topic of E-Efficiency, my final for last week was 223.6m, 75.71kWh, or 33.86 kWh/100mi. No gasoline used. I turned several...
I didn't perceive any slight at all.
They're planning to buy 25000 "electric vehicles". 12000 Volts. Source
