Separate names with a comma.
I don't have Hold mode on my older Volt so I just drive it on city streets and then get on the highway and put it in cruise control. My numbers...
Simultaneously, the Iraq War exploded and gas prices jumped. Gas prices generally climbed up aggressively when the Iconic was introduced in late...
For what it's worth, GM manufactured at least 47,574 model year 2013 Volts (and Amperas) since that is the highest 2013 VIN sequence number...
That guy and the other Volt reviewer at TTAC that he refers to are credibility-challenged and are spreading BS. TTAC is strongly biased against GM...
Sorry, I've been meaning to finish tabulating the numbers but I've been too damn busy since I got back. I found a minor 10-mile discrepancy in my...
I've had my Volt for 2.5 years so far with 33k battery miles and 52k miles total with only a couple of trivial issues unrelated to the battery or...
It's complicated. If the by-the-hour station owner sees mostly faster-charging cars then she will either raise her price or switch to per-kWh...
This info is in a table inside the "50 state" report that I linked to in a post a few minutes ago.
As it happens, I'm meeting with someone at ChargePoint (Coulomb Technologies) later today to discuss these kinds of issues. I will mention this...
That just intuitively makes good sense. Meanwhile, my last 3 cars -- 2001 Prius, 2004 Prius, 2011 Volt -- we're all ordered at the earliest...
The Volt and Prius have electronic continuously variable transmissions (e-CVT) made up of a planetary gear set and two motor/generators. The...
And where do you suppose the motor/generators are located? They are in the transmission. In the Volt, you regulate the regen intensity on the "go...
I understand what your saying and you correctly understood that I'm on a relaxing low-key vacation. That said, I certainly would appreciate an...
I gathered my stats and calculated the numbers for my drive down from San Francisco to Riverside for the PriusChat TGB4 conference in my 2011...
Yes, I got 65 mpg HV in the PiP and 130 MPGe EV (260 Wh per mile). The following week under similar conditions I got 50 mpg HV in the Volt and 130...
I typically set the cruise control at 56 mph but occasionally drive up to 65 for short stretches. City driving is at the posted speed limit. Most...
That's around 210 Wh per mile. I'm guessing you aren't including charging overhead which is how EPA reports MPGe estimates. With charging overhead...
Those are all very good points. On the other hand, he certainly "could" achieve 268 Wh per mile driving entirely in EV (236 doesn't including the...
Check your math again. At a constant speed it would about 25-26 mph. The most efficient EV speed for cars is typically 15-20 mph so he's actually...
I suppose it's possible to get 18 miles on flat road without using the gas engine but you would have to drive very slow at a steady rate with few...
