Separate names with a comma.
Here's a longish response to that Fully Charged episode including links to the relevant UN-published statistics for the UK so you can crunch the...
No, that's the old bogus Internet meme that every gallon of gas requires 4-7 kWh of grid electricity. That nonsense just won't die. There was a...
Here are a few more efficient Volt driving tips. EV mode (battery charge available): Slower speeds are better between 15-100 mph. Below 15 mph...
So after credits it was effectively $17,000? Not bad. Yes, it will take some time to learn the car and how to most effectively drive it. Here in...
I'd really like to see the 2nd gen Volt with an 18-20 kwk battery have a DC charge capability. It would be a good way of maximizing electric...
Congrats on learning about alternatives to conventional gasoline cars and choosing a car which works best for your driving pattern. The Prius...
[MEDIA] That was fun to watch! Thanks for mentioning. While searching for that I noticed there was also an earlier show from 2010 that featured...
I know you said at the time you were going to create a poll and I vaguely remember submitting my guess but I could not find the actual poll...
This is what I was pointing out before... Those numbers that you backed out of the alleged OnStar data are so close (identical) to the EPA...
Did anyone really think the 8 kWh was from the wall? GM was pretty clear very early on that the concept was to use a 16 kWh battery and use 50% of...
I know you find this scandalous, but Toyota and Nissan did the same thing. GM: Volt goes 40 miles on 8 kwh = 5 miles per kwh Toyota: PiP will go...
I'll unwind your calculations later but, again, coal isn't used in load-following plants that typically perform marginal generation. EPA PiP EV...
Okay then, we'll see how your predictive skills work out. You are predicting the Volt will be cancelled on or about February 2017 after the 2nd...
I don't think the Volt, Model S, Nissan LEAF, or Ford Energi can reasonably be characterized as "EV guzzlers". According to EPA, the PiP is around...
Marginal generation is a complex philosophical concept. With the limited number of cars charging today, the actual added load on the grid is...
So you're claiming the correct US marginal generation carbon emissions per kwh should be what? The numbers reported to me from OnStar for my car...
I was discussing your earlier abstract formula which was calculating some overall efficiency number for the grid which was independent of...
You've got pinky fingers all over that scale of yours.... First, you are adding in battery charging overhead but the 22 kWh number would have...
The posting I see from Volt drivers indicate they care about getting good EV range in their cars which is another way of saying they care about...
For many drivers it would be a lot easier to manage 68% EV on the Volt than 50% EV on the PiP due to the relative battery sizes. With the smaller...
