Again, that patent is not the cycle itself, its for technology related to putting it in an engine with many speeds and loads, avoiding knocking....
That patent is not for the Atkinson cycle engine. That was created in the 1800's and is well out of patent. The patent you mentioned is for a...
The Volt has the advantage of a gas engine dedicated only to generating electricity. It can be tuned to a higher efficiency and a lower range of...
Here we go again. The Volt has a 150hp motor. The gas generator (genset) is 74hp. So for 0-60 you have 150hp. Sure, you cannot keep up 150hp...
Where you have 'Chevys own site' you link to a fan site. The concept car did have a 1.0 liter turbocharged engine but they changed that over a...
The Volt like the Prius uses the pack in a range of about half its capacity so power issues as the pack drains should not be an issue. This also...
Well you are wrong on a few points. The engine is a 1.4 liter non turbo. Its designed for a smaller rpm range so it should be more durable (I...
Here is one. 48mpg. Makes sense from all of the other numbers for the Volt that are firm. EPA confused by Chevy Volt's fuel economy | The Car...
Re: Chevy Volt - 230MPG EPA City? The Volt is capable of running with a dead gas engine (for its 40 mile range). The Volt is dead with a dead...
That is incorrect. That is not how they came up with that number. The number comes from the energy equivalent of the gas as expressed in KWh per...
Re: Chevy Volt - 230MPG EPA City? The test factors in the amount of energy contained in the electricity. This kind of test makes electric cars...
Re: Chevy Volt - 230MPG EPA City? The videos in the link show the Volt being built in pre-production mode. They are not being mass produced and...
The first one of these makes sense. And I think its the Volts biggest challenge, to get 40 miles on electric mode. That mirrors all of the real...
It totally depends on the type of cartridge though the Stapes and Officedepot offers are the way I go. I pass by a Staples on the way to the gym....
I am sure there will be some lull but there will be buyers like me who are not in a hurry but are interested in a new car. I am delaying my...
This one comes up almost as often as the stupid "Hummer is better for the environment then the Prius" article. Its just not true. Source link...
Yes, and its your math! When Nissan says the car goes 100 miles on X amount of electricity they are including the charge/discharge loss already....
That logic is flawed. You are taking the co2 emissions from the tailpipe of the Prius only which is quite unfair. Electric cars reduce TOTAL co2...
Yes: STUDY: Even with electricity from coal, electric vehicles beat gas in CO2 emissions — Autoblog Green Of course that is factoring 100%...
I find it hard to believe that CR has a pro American car bias. From everything I have read from them they are just the opposite! If CR likes an...
