Separate names with a comma.
Volt EPA highway estimate is 40 mpg and it's easy to get mid-40's at 55-60 mph. The Ford Energi C-MAX gets a 41 mpg estimate on the highway. The...
It may seem complex but many cars these days likely have variable speed radiator fans and computer controlled valves in their cooling systems. The...
The Volt has a valve in its climate control loop that allows it to use waste heat from the gas engine when it is running for heating the cabin...
That ChargePoint alert is normal. As you noted, it just means your car has stopped drawing power probably because the battery is full....
I think a minor memory effect in Lithium Ion batteries has been detected and reported recently. The fact that they just noticed this tells you...
Here's a timely and relevant article.... This guy drove his 2012 Volt with 52,000 EV miles under his radial belts (smaller battery like my 2011,...
The CS Volt curve shows series hybrid below approximately 37 mph that apparently gets more efficient when generating at higher RPM and load and...
I no longer see post number links within threads (such as "post #32"). I used to use those as a source of direct links to specific posts in a...
The top MPGe list entries are supposed to be AC based numbers. For my top 10 Volt list entry (133.5 MPGe EV averaged over 1019 miles), I mostly...
Congratulations on joining the plugin revolution! If you have driven 60% EV then you would have driven 40% of your miles on gasoline. If you...
I just stumbled over an Idaho National Laboratory document with the following test results for a 2013 Volt: Fuel Economy at Steady-State Speed,...
Unfortunately, ANL doesn't have a 2013 LEAF test yet. My impression from scattered skimming of the main LEAF forum site in the past is that real...
I think the voltage boosting stuff (200+ volts to 600v) happened between 1st and 2nd gen but maybe there was a tweak to the boosted voltage that...
One possibility is that the Prius and therefore PiP use 600v motors and inverters where most other cars like the Volt and LEAF are using 350v or...
It would be interesting to search for correlations between CS (HV) mpg vs EPA with actual data of kWh usage but I'm not confident at all about...
I haven't yet reverse engineered exactly where miscrms's numbers come from. It would be great if more details were shared about how the 13 kWh...
USB, you said on a post to the Top 20 MPGe thread in February that your one year EV efficiency was 132 MPGe and your HV efficiency was 56 mpg....
Nonsense. Many Volt owners care a lot about EV range and that's ultimately the same thing as EV efficiency. Quite a few Volt owners report...
All plugin cars that I'm aware of do not include charging overhead in their "kWh used" displays inside the car. The main initial efficiency...
Okay. Before the efficiency displays at MyVolt.com went haywire on me late last year, I took a snapshot of my annual efficiency between June 2012...
