Separate names with a comma.
However, those batteries are run within a very narrow SoC range compared to what the PiP will need to support. Just to add another detail to...
There are university and national labs doing battery research that have their own commercially available equipment for making test quantities of...
http://priuschat.com/forums/toyota-prius-phv-plug-in/97992-2012-prius-plug-in-product-info-pdf-8.html It's true that 27 kW is at the high end of...
The paper does not describe batteries made by Panasonic. It describes experimental cells made by the university researchers themselves based on...
Of course, the discharge rate is 50% higher at the same power output because the Leaf battery is 50% larger. The Volt has a motor and controls...
I'm looking forward to careful measurements of the efficiency of burning gas for brief acceleration events blended-in while otherwise running off...
I think 80% range of discharge is too high. According to the European test cycle, the estimated electric range of the Chevy Volt is 51.6 miles...
That certainly wasn't my intent. Try reading my paragraph again: "Of course, these efficiency numbers for both the A1 e-tron and the Volt are...
Let's not forget the tens of millions of people who live in areas that already have low-carbon grid power even without putting up their own solar...
On the topic of weight.... the Volt's higher than average weight contributes to it's excellent impact safety scores -- almost like an SUV but with...
I prefer to think of it as being a Lexus HS 250h weight compact car. :-) I expect the peak power capacity to fade over time but it starts out...
I don't know. With an extra 2 years of laboratory accelerated battery testing and a year of real world use it's possible that GM could be more...
Did you mean they would roll out the 2013 Volt? The 2012 Volt is already out and being delivered to customers. When Lutz said "28 miles" I'm...
GM has been saying "Summer 2012" and I think at least once a GM employee said in a web Q & A it would be model year 2013. I assume, at minimum,...
The A1 e-tron is about 1.5 feet shorter, has 2 doors plus hatchback, and has 4 seats. A T-shaped battery pack is located in the center and under...
The Volt warranty covers capacity degradation that exceeds 30% at the end of 8 years or 100,000 miles and says that capacity is expected to be...
It's more like a Volt 0.6: The Volt outputs 111 kW (149 hp) and has a top speed of about 161 km/h (100 mph). The Volt total operating range on...
Right. Even on a long road trip it can be a good solution. As I pointed out earlier on this thread, I drove my Volt on a 2.5 week trip for a total...
I've considered it but for my driving pattern 120V charging works just fine without the added expense and hassle of getting a 240V EVSE installed....
I'm not sure how the Volt "sacrifices EV performance" since the Volt's torque, HP, weight-per-HP, and 0-80+ MPH acceleration are all empirically...
