Okay, I have a real job and I need to get back to doing it, but here are a few more things I noticed about this study beyond all of the good...
The LEAF uses the same or slightly more power at highway speed than the Volt but is more efficient at stop/start city driving due to lower weight....
Anton Wahlman who blogs at TheStreet.com owns a Volt and is well-informed on Volt-related topics. He has sources that tell him that Volt 2.0 will...
Let's do some comparison shopping with another famous example of German engineering. A 1967 VW Beetle weights 1,000 pounds less than an i3 (1,900...
Road trips could work on flat roads if you are willing to stop to refill the tank every 50-75 miles. The i3 has a 2.4 gallon tank. I haven't seen...
I like what my local utility, PG&E, is doing for their renewable energy option. Based on the power consumption of the customers opting into the...
I'm going to assume this is related to Akerson's comments during a wide-ranging on-stage interview at a business conference sponsored by Forbes...
The 30-80 range was an early baseline assumption during design but the final production cars use a range of 22-87. City driving is often mostly...
Sure, but it's all relative to the underlying size of the battery. Most people rarely draw more than 60 kW during acceleration. The Prius Plugin...
Not necessarily. That is known as shallow cycling since the state of charge window is only around 300-500 Wh. That's only a 2.5% charge swing on a...
You made a vague reference earlier in the thread to Akerson saying this year that the Volt is selling at a loss. I asked you for a source link but...
Huh? You are making a distinction between "price" which the customer cares about and "cost" which GM cares about. Then you say "we're not going to...
Yes, once the battery is run down and it switches to HV mode, the Volt is roughly similar in behavior to the Prius. Unsurprisingly, there are some...
Link please....
I found that ChargePoint only reported about 2.5% higher than OnStar so it's clearly trying to account for charging overhead. I don't know if...
Not really. The new 2014 MSRP simply matches the latest $5,000 cash incentives in the existing 2013 inventory. It's a smooth price transition as...
You paid about $5,000 less than MSRP for your Prius Plugin? Great deal. Of course. I never claimed otherwise. I liked driving the PiP when I had...
What is the price differential between the basic trim Plugin and a regular Prius -- $6,000? The only substantial difference is the alternate...
Link please.... Sure, they do that every day to compete. That's just basic economics. Product prices are driven lower by competition so companies...
No. I assume you are referring to the stories about the Volt costing GM $250,000 for every car sold? That was absurdist BS which was...
