In conventional cars, the torque converter sits between the gas engine and the rest of an automatic transmission to connect them together while...
My complaint was about comparing "what Toyota marketing said" or "what people got" on the one hand versus an EPA estimate which tends to be 20-30%...
I guess I haven't been posting here enough recently... :-) No, you can't use an EPA estimate and then compare that to a vague marketing range...
I'm not aware that Toyota "uprated" the electric motor between the current Gen III Prius and the PiP. The specs that I've seen rated both electric...
I suspect you are thinking of the "$4100 repair over a road pebble" thread on the GM-volt forum. Actually, both radiators were repaired under...
In my case, as the time for delivery approached I drove past my dealership in September 2000 and saw a green Prius fresh off the truck sitting in...
Another bias in the voltstats.net mpg data is that most of the cars in their database joined after November 9 so their overall average mpg is...
I have been actively following gm-volt.com since 2007 and have read most of what was posted there during the last several years including the...
Even if Volt sales "flounder" at the recent sales pace of 10,000-20,000 a year it will be selling at about the same pace as almost every hybrid...
I've had a ChargePoint account for almost a year since they are the most common charging station in the SF Bay Area. I've actually charged at...
Basically, the Tesla Model S with the largest pack option except it takes 45 minutes to recharge instead of 15. I completely agree with this goal....
Just for the record.... these numbers don't seem to make sense. If the Volt uses 36,857 kWh of electricity it could drive around 100,000 miles...
I assume all these cars can recharge at 240V at 15-16A as well as the Volt and LEAF. The Ford will also charge at 240V at 30-32A. Even at 120V at...
Conditions vary, especially when using both electricity and gasoline in a PHEV. I live in California. Local regular gas is just under $3.70 a...
I rarely use heating beyond very efficient heated seats and I'm perfectly comfortable. Most of my driving is during the day in sunny skies and the...
I got 42 mpg in "hybrid mode" (not counting grid power) averaged across a total of 16,000 miles (some 6,000 or so on gasoline) during one year of...
Right. These were some of my notes about the assumptions in the report from when I skimmed it last year: * plugins will jump from 0% to 25% of...
Or just under 26 minutes covering 32.25 miles assuming 12.9 kWh from the wall (as is likely the case). The LEAF chart gives 62 miles of range at...
I suspect the numbers on that graph are based on kWhs measured from the wall plug (12.9 kWh per EPA for a full charge) rather than being relative...
I'm in favor of realistic comparisons based on consistent conditions under typical and expected usage patterns. I haven't seen anyone develop a...
