Not when you factor in the cost of extra batteries needed to compensate for weight, power and reduced aerodynamics. :cautious: Well, GM had...
Yep. They also have a nice little motorcycle engine as range extender ;) Good to know GM has 3cyl in mind as rangex.......though making it a...
Your insight is pretty good (y) From the article: The GM Ultralite prototype was unveiled to the public in Detroit in January ’92, with working...
Competition is indeed good. But, one cannot help but to feel sorry for GM. They've thrown away so many opportunities.......from the EV1 to the...
Are you referring to the Model E? I've heard the Model X will have access to the network, at no extra cost.
Exactly. Superchargers are better because of speed and cost (relative to all the other public L2 chargers). Tesla simply wanted to make it...
It's a fair point. Tesla says each supercharger stations costs them ~$300k. Tesla Supercharger network goes nationwide, gets quicker [w/video]...
Pretty pictures of the ELR. How many of these are on the road? Reply: 0.......and the 200-mile EV is worse. It's just words now, no pics even The...
As the Wall Street Journal points out, VW stated back in 2010 that the electric vehicle ambitions of Nissan and Renault were “sheer lunacy.”...
It is my understanding that each make has no time limit to the Fed EV tax credits. (Clock starts ticking after 200,000 plug-ins have already been...
Also, a lot of ppl mentioned VW's mechanical problems and reliability issues. I think a lot of that has to do with them getting caught flat-footed...
One point about VW & EV's that I don't think anyone has brought up is that VW already has a larger brand-name recognition (or 'mindshare') in the...
Ok. Good to know (I had hought NEDC mpg accounted for that :notworthy:)
51.69%, to be precise. :rolleyes: (using 61 mpg Prius, 118 mpg XL1 NEDC #'s discussed above) But it's all hypothetical speculation. We will...
Fair enough. 94 mpg -without battery power- still makes one hell of a highway cruiser ;) Enough for 2 people to go from San Francisco to Vegas on...
I agree w./ your earlier post that this is not where the EV market is heading. However: This makes sense as a future path for VW given their...
Umm......no. Read: 120 MPG and Room for Two: VW’s XL1 Hitting the Streets in 2013 - Yahoo Autos 2nd paragraph: "the XL1 can go 32 miles...
Yes.........it does. <SIGH> :rolleyes: I am not using NEDC. I am doing a straight apples-to-apples comparison of what the XL1 would achieve...
Your math doesn't add up: XL1 has less than half the emissions of a Prius. So, an XL1 with 2 people inside is still fewer emissions...
All of which makes me want it even more. Way more tech than an Insight, btw. Of course, I'm probably unique in that regard, as I would be 1st in...
