The Volt is available in all 50 states. Run the numbers comparing a PiP and a Volt. And consider where your dollars go at purchase and when fueling.
DB, Here is how you tell the recipe of your local electricity: How clean is the electricity I use? - Power Profiler | Clean Energy | US EPA...
Paid $23.6k. PiP's also get their "Tax Incentive" to help move us to a better world. But because the PiP is a (lame) PHEV and it only gets a $2500...
I, for one, am truly convinced by this report from 105 cars. I only have 15.3k total miles, 10.6k EV miles on mine. It has not hiccupped at all...
never mind....
But,, we're just comparing technical specs and observed performance for our cars with transaxles from the same supplier, right? Each one serves...
My commute was 25 miles, 70-75 mph 85% of the way, NO GAS usage. Display shows +250 MPG, stupid display. Maybe $0.60 worth of home electricity....
john17, Where is there that 62mph limit coming from on the PiP? Is there current flow to MG1 when in EV, or does it "rotate freely"? Only your...
Gents, I'm glad this technical discussion has progressed, even though some have called it "crap" and "please stop". Those who don't like threads...
john17, Please stop defending old tech. Sure, they added a second planetary set and use a gear instead of a chain to the final drive. Fantastic....

You are correct, the initial cost of the car must be a factor in $/Mile calculations. I don't know how to do that. So for now I use only energy...
john, I don't follow. Cost is measured in: $0.00 per Mile. Correct? If you drive less than 40 miles before you can plug-in, you never have to...
Yeah, if you haul 5 adults all the time a Volt is off the list. If not, "you better shop around". At least go test drive one. "Put the spurs to...
For a One and a Half Year old car????? Take a breath, count to ten.....
It's amazing they're offering you a decent trade-in price! That's a good thing! They must really want this old 'new' Prius off the lot. "Mama...
Technically it's a Transaxle. The differential is in there and the axle shafts plug into it. It's a box of gears (that never shift) and bearings,...
I have read that both of those transaxles pictured above are made by the same supplier for Toyota and GM. However, a decade of technology...
If you want a primer on the transaxle ATF change subject : ATF fluid changes ARE Required. | PriusChat There are no friction clutches or torque...
Most (all?) Car Manufacturers have a maintenance schedule for changing the ATF in any automatic transmission. My Gen3 did not have that in the...
