For me the left rear is perfect for parking in my garage. But at work, I see that the Leaf design in front (or near front) is so much better. It...
What John says is true. But to clarify... When you switch off EV mode, wanting to "save" the battery for later you aren't guaranteed to maintain...
If you are in EV mode but exceed 62 mph then you will be using both the engine and battery/motor. Have you tried EV mode on slower roads? Have...
Tracksyde, What helps offset CO2 and GW more? A supercharger with solar cells located in a place with frequent cloud cover, etc. Or the same...
I think that you are missing the point. Why send the electrons from a particular solar cell to a particular charger? Mike
Why does that matter one bit? Wouldn't it make MUCH more sense to have all the SuperChargers grid powered so they work 24/7? And then install the...
Where are these located? Maybe you used up your free charging :) Mike
I think you are buying a marketing message. Any good mechanical engineer could remove half the batteries and replace them with structural members...
90% of the time in EV is during my commute...~6 miles each way on 35-50 mph roads. If I drive in EV on the freeway at 65 mph I only get ~10 miles...
Interesting data. Thanks for the work. I think that there could be a least a couple of causes for this. First, poor value cars, within each...
The last ~15 min is always at ~50% the charge rate. So two one hour charges is better than a two hour charge...if the two hours gets you to the...
IIRC the Model S battery weighs about 500 lbs and is 60 kwh for 208 miles. If you kept half installed all the time you'd have to move 250 lbs...
I don't think you can use those average mpg for ach MY to prove the point of changing technology. This is because, as gas prices went up, many...
Not true. I saw my EV estimate "plummet" in the winter to 12.8 miles. It is back up to 14.2 now. But when it is a bit warmer like today I see my...
I think if you look around the parking lot at any shopping mall you will quickly come to the conclusion that we are still inthe lower part of...
What is your range difference going the opposite way? My commute is ~6 miles. It is ~150 ft elevation drop. Going to work it takes ~4 miles of...
I define it as driving in EV only and shutting off the car the instant it automatically switches to HV. Primarily because, on my commute I can get...
Great...then maybe this car is for you. But the vast majority of people do not drive that far that often...and if they do a regular Prius would be...
Tell me what numbers you want and I'll do the spreadsheet again...I just used the numbers I've heard people report. I personally get 59 mpg and 14...
Here you go... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] assumptions: PIP: 50 mpg, 11 miles EV Volt: 35 mpg, 35 miles EV Up the gas price, Volts wins...
