Separate names with a comma.
I find the EPA numbers for gasoline to be close but I can easily exceed the EV estimates by 20% on an annualized average in a mild climate like...
As the good doctor pointed out, you can't just compare the PiP's 29 kWh with gasoline assist to the Volt's 36 kWh electric-only. Without gas (with...
Do we know what AER means for a blended PHEV, according to EPA? I'm not sure how to interpret that.
Thanks, but I can't read the fine print. Gotta be able to read the footnotes etc. which is where the information is that we haven't learned about...
But you did end that earlier post by saying: I took that to mean that you were commenting on the reliability or utility of the two-mode design...
Any chance of close up pictures of the window stickers for one of the new PiPs?
Yes! Thanks!!!
Brain fart. Yes, I obviously meant Nov. 2010 since I picked up my own Volt in Dec. 2010 and mentioned 2010 in the old thread that Scott dredged...
Well, I think we pretty much knew the outcome of that comparison.... :) .... But thanks for posting the data tables! A comparison with the 2001...
We is wrong. The term "power split" as used in engineering is perfectly valid for both input split (Prius) and output split (Volt) planetary gear...
All but one of the links you provided are about the same Consumer Reports reliability survey apparently showing poor overall reliability for the...
I'm not aware of the 2-mode transmission being unreliable. Do you have a source for that? The 1st generation BAS mild hybrid included a defective...
At least a couple folks have had problems with the kill-a-watt when pulling 120V at 12A charging the Volt. Others have not had a problem. I have...
GM announced the concept Volt in early 2007 and committed to produce it around the summer of 2007. At least by 2008, Lutz was stating in public...
Sure, it's clear that the PiP is looking for the sweet spot in the Price/Battery curve and that's a good thing. That's how I buy my hard drive,...
The navigation with map display is an option in 2012 but was standard in 2011. If you don't get that option there is still an OnStar...
The Ampera can already do that. It has an additional "Hold" mode that we don't get in the U.S. Volt (apparently for silly regulatory reasons).
The 2012 PiP and recent production 2012 Volt only qualify for a $1,500 California state rebate (as an all-electric the LEAF gets $2,500).
Probably the same thing that happened to Nissan LEAF sales -- some sales that could have been done in January 2012 were pulled forward into...
I'm guessing you don't like the Plugin Prius either since the consumer price is only $2,500 less than the Volt after tax credits and it hasn't had...
