Separate names with a comma.
Fixed. The 6th graders defense. It is intellectually dishonest because it specifically omits contextually relevant pieces of information (range,...
There is no requirement for an L2 charger ($490, BTW). The shorter recharge time would be appealing if it didn't come at the expense of range.
He could have done it in 3hr (just like a PHV!) if he only wanted to have PHV-like EV range. But you know that.
You say a lot of things that are opinion, but this constant refrain is simply intellectually dishonest and you know it.
3.6 of a 4.4kWh feels too aggressive for Toyota. My own out-my-nice person numbers: 4.4 kwh nominal capacity 1.5 hours to full charge at 240 V mains ?...
:rolleyes: Maybe you should read it again. He was 60/40 in the Volt. In his pure low-speed test, Wayne saw 173 Wh/mile from the wall in the...
Your charging efficiency number is way off, for starters. PHV has a 2.8 kWh (usable) pack that takes 3.6-3.8 kWh to charge based on reports here....
That was with cruise control on. :) How does a Prius do @ 55 w/cruise on? Ah, gasoline equivalence. At the wheels. With an imagined MPG and...
I hear you but that sticker has a provision for all electric miles AND the PHV has an EV mode button AND might even be able to do the city cycle...
24 kWh/100mi when a similarly heavy Leaf is 32 in the city cycle? Not feeling it. IF they report a full city cycle (it's not clear they will),...
Utility Factor is the statistical probability that an average vehicle will be driven less than its CD range on any given day. IMHO, it's a bogus...
Sheesh, you even commented in the post I used for the source. :D (80.3-26.2)*5.2 = 2.81 kWh (78.8-26.2)*5.2 = 2.73 kWh 2.8 seems close enough....
Not exactly. It starts the engine at about 9.6 and tries to maintain the level there so that's what I used for the calculation. Max you can use...
You are correct. OnStar reports approximately 15% less than my measured data. I don't know what the number is exactly, since the charging loss...
Have you ever called on a car listed by a dealer in AutoTrader? Dealers are not the most vigilant about updating status of a sold car in hope...
(bolding mine) It would probably be close, based on the improvement on the eAssist Regal (25%). With everyone here so fixated on the CS operation...
Premium fuel was used because it gave 10-15% better fuel efficiency per Pamela Fletcher, the Chief Engineer of the powertrain group. The Volt ICE...
They seem to do pretty well with gasoline numbers these days (ironically by reducing straight test results by as much as 30% through some...
Ah, completely not at the scale I thought you meant. I see your point.
That's not how it works at all. The Volt draws 1450 watts constantly, just like a space heater. It's pulling 12 amps on the 15 amp circuit,...
