I haven't seen anything yet about the shape but with fewer cells it's possible that the section of the old pack that blocked the middle legroom...
They are holding back on the interior design details today -- just powertrain and battery details. The GreenCarReports story is being updated with...
GM just tossed out some new Volt 2.0 engineering details on the engine and battery pack. Update: my thread got merged with another one. See...
Forget the 3 cylinder 1.0L engine rumors. The new engine is a semi-Atkinsonized 1.5L aluminum 4 cylinder. New pack has fewer but higher density...
Actual coal sequestration on a utility-level scale with an acceptable cost overhead is still a bit mythical. Until I see some actual full-scale...
For added context, the NREL graphs show a 68 mile per kg H2 car emitting 250 g/mile of CO2e. FuelEconomy.gov shows a Volt on US average...
The CMAX Energi has combined EPA mpg of 38 vs 37 for Volt. I guess that's the threshold dividing line for whether or not a car is a hybrid?
I would say it is both. It's an EREV and an EREV is a type of a hybrid.
Here are 3 graphs from a recent (2013) US national labs (NREL) report on hydrogen production efficiencies, emissions, and costs. The "Gasoline...
True statement about hybrid passenger cars. New Flyer began selling hybrid busses with GM hybrid 2-mode transmission in the 2003 model year with...
But later you say.... Right, so therefore an FCV is a hybrid in the same way a Prius is a hybrid. I don't see any requirement in that quoted SAE...
The bottom line is that FCVs are hybrids (stop/start, electric motors, HV sized batteries) and should be compared against Prius-style full...
On my recent road trip my right rear tire encountered a 4 inch long piece of rebar about 12 miles away from a major town in Wyoming just after...
New PBS Autoline show available today that is all about battery technology. Panelists include the head of LG Chem's US battery unit that makes...
The bearing issue happened to a small number of cars and is apparently caused by an occassional manufacturing defect with the transmission motor...
Your accounting of "auto liquid fuel" includes not just gas and diesel but also pretty much anything liquid that comes out of a refinery....
This is true, but the Volt is inherently lower maintenance. I just had my 2nd oil change at 96,000 miles and I'm following the recommended service...
102,000 miles total with about 62,000 of that from recharging the battery. My 2011 Volt will be 4 years old in 2-3 weeks but it was delivered to...
Consider joining VoltStats. It gathers your numbers automatically from GM after you sign up. My monthly and total averages are here: Volt Stats:...
Yep, the gas station seems like an appropriate place to buy your ethanol.
