Suggestion: Volt forum

Stev0 · 04-05-2008, 12:30 AM

I suggest making a forum for the Chevy Volt, putting it under "Other cars", and moving all the threads currently in the News section there. As of this writing, there are seven threads about it on the first three pages alone. I know if you dig even deeper, there are at least a dozen other threads. And most of them all say the exact same thing.

I went ahead and made the forum you suggested.

Are we going to ignore Amps and Ohms, concentrating only on Volts?

Tony's such a funny guy. I added a forum for the Volt, but I'm going to leave the "News" posts in the news forum for now since it is a "Prius & Hybrid News" forum.

Let me know if there are other threads that need to be moved to the Volt forum.

I assume you'll have a Volt section at hybridchat.com as well Danny? It seems a more appropriate place, overall, for such discussions. That said there's clearly a high level of interest in that car here so having a place for that seems appropriate.

What?
You find it hard to believe that I'm actually Volty in disguise?

Stev0 · 04-06-2008, 11:09 AM

It all makes sense now. And Danny is really Malorn, right?

Volt forum on HybridChat is done:

Chevrolet Volt PHEV - HybridChat Forums

Right now I've only done a main forum and set the rest of the subforums to be invisible until the car is actually released (

).

Is it correct to call it an EV?

Absolutely not. It is a plug-in series hybrid and clearly not an EV. Probably best to say "Volt PHEV"

I knew that sounded wrong. I saw it referred to as an EV on some websites and it made me scratch my head. New link:
