JD Power 3rd year dependability survey rates the most reliable 2011 model year vehicles. The top 3 scoring compact cars ranked in order were: 1....
That doesn't sound right. Typical Lithium-ion batteries can discharge higher power output at a high SOC but can take back in a lower power level...
Excellent results. From your recent 1,000 miles of winter driving, how much of that was driven on dry pavement as opposed to wet, slushy, or...
Wow! What a jerk (him, not you...). How many seconds/minutes did you ponder the keying? For future reference, there is an "800" number on the...
I think ICE vehicles still should ticketed. They have no plausible reason for being there. Plugin cars parked without being plugged in should get...
The Volt has over 10 kWh of usable capacity (10.8 kWh in 2013-2014 model years, 10.3 before that). I expect other PHEVs to compete with 40-60...
Presumably, the PiP driver parked on the charge cord unintentionally. I think the Volt driver was wrong to unplug the PiP while it was still...
Sure, substantial hills are likely to be a problem on the range extender with an "empty'" battery.
I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that is true of the i3, unless your home is near the summit of the local mountain. The i3 range extender...
The last time gas was $.39 a gallon was 1974. The last time gas was $1 a gallon was 1990. When adjusted for inflation, both gallons were around...
More efficient.... perhaps a little, according to EPA. I'm looking forward to seeing more real-world results. I routinely got 129 MPGe EV or...
I think Dennis already adjusted for that. The car display showed something like 223 Wh per mile which is loosely around 150 MPGe before being...
Thanks for fixing Wikipedia. I've sometimes wanted to fix the Chevy Volt page but have been simultaneously too lazy and too busy to figure out the...
Cool! The video was obviously in EV now mode. I've heard that if you switch to EV now mode it will stay there if you turn the car off and back on...
I'm guessing it may vary a bit depending on the level of power demand when you get near the 23% level. There might be no exact answer.
Without putting it in "EV now" mode, how likely is it for the engine to start up when going up an onramp and merging into freeway traffic? Passing...
Thanks. The harder part is finding the "2.7 kWh" usable capacity or an equivalent statement saying Toyota is using "63%" of the battery capacity...
Yes, I said about 2.75 usable and 3.2 from the wall in my comments on the article but I wanted some good source documents to back that up and...
Does anyone know of any document from Toyota or an "authoritative" report of some kind that shows the usable capacity 2.7-2.8 kWh of the overall...
I think you meant 2.3 kW. Other plugins cars charge at a rate of at least 3 kW so PiP is the slowest charging plugin car I know of. This is...
