Separate names with a comma.
I'm not really sure what you mean here. In order to implement an effective and efficient EREV I suspect Toyota would make some changes to their...
Under the same European test cycle the Volt/Ampera gets 196 mpg. As you noted, their test numbers are calculated in a way that gives high...
There you go again..... :) That statement is a jumbled up mishmash. First, different battery capacities and driving ranges work better for...
I didn't name either my 2001 or 2004 Prius but when I got my Chevy Volt the OnStar telematics wanted me to give it a nickname in place of using a...
I get close to the EPA estimates for gasoline while I can easily exceed the EPA estimates for battery range and efficiency in mild climate...
I've driven my Volt 18,000 miles (11,000 miles on battery charge) over 14 months. I get more than the EPA estimated battery range of 35 miles...
My impression is that the prototype PiP turns on the gas engine when you still have a mile or so of EV capability left in the battery and then...
I can't agree with that. From what I've seen the two-mode architecture seems useful for busses, trucks, and large SUVs with serious towing...
Hmmm. Here is the Toyota U.S.A. press release of the speech made by General Manager Bob Carter to announce the PiP for the U.S. market. The...
I'll bet you were hearing about some PR from Ford today announcing the EPA range estimate of 76 miles for the new Ford Focus Electric. The LEAF...
I'm not sure what you heard on the radio but nothing has changed with the battery range recently. The official EPA battery range is 35 miles...
I don't remember Toyota running around publicly correcting overly optimistic Plugin Prius fanbois either. The Volt/Ampera actually does achieve...
The Volt exceeded some people's hopes for pricing just like the PiP did. GM statements about pricing were always vague about whether they included...
In the U.S. the charge rates are nominally 3300W @ 208V at 16A (3 phase power in large buildings and parking garages) or 3800W @ 240V at 16A....
Thanks. My overnight grid average is probably lower than 238g/kWh based on the fuel source data but that number isn't published by PG&E. I...
I bought mine and I'm still glad that I did.
The car is probably charging at about 1.4 kW (120V at 12A). If the total charge is 3.0-3.2 kWh then it should only take around 2.5 hours. I'm...
My real world Chevy Volt CO2 emissions calculate out to 144g per mile using this methodology but with more locally specific data for Northern...
I think you mean 0.2 gallons/100 miles. That additional gas consumption makes the 29 kWh/100 number artificially low when compared against an...
The Volt would be classified as midsize if it had 110 cubic feet of interior and luggage space like the Chevrolet Cruze instead the 108 cubic feet...
