No reason to assume gasoline prices will remain at $3.34! Here in the UK we pay $7.20 per US gallon, but only 6 pence (9.5 cents) per kWh for...
Another Volt review / test drive on youtube. Interesting because it talks about some other aspects of the volt not too often discussed. [media]
Maybe it would be helpful for this thread to have a side by side comparison of the published specifications: EPA rating (gasoline mode): Prius...
In exactly the same way the Prius does. With a battery, and a motor to compensate. The reason the engine in the Prius can extract 25-30% more...
As mentioned in earlier posts, this is not the case. As soon as GM switches from an Otto cycle engine to an Atkinson cycle (or Miller cycle)...
More range anxiety though! ;) Volt is supposed to be a happy medium. Enough EV range to cope with the daily commute, but then a gasoline range...
Yes, but you could drive 14,600 miles per year in a Volt without using any gasoline if you wanted to. Some people will like the idea of reducing...
Power in the Volt is buffered by the battery, so there would be no issues with switching to Atkinson cycle, just as with the Prius. The whole...
Remember this is the Gen1 Volt with an Otto cycle engine, which had to use because they only had enough time to pick an existing unit off the...
There is also an electric version of the A1, with rotary engine range extender. Review article here. Basics are: 12 kWh battery 31 miles EV...
Re: Motor Trend: Okay, so Volt is not an EV. It's a Hybrid. But we think it's a superior hybrid to H I think there are two reasons why CS mode...
This is what I find interesting: "Tesla .... plans to produce its next-generation electric sedan, the Model S, in partnership with Toyota, set...
"all of the hybrid technology, including the high-voltage battery, is housed in the engine compartment" Interesting, should save some space.
14:1 compression ratio is remarkable, as the whole reason Toyota went with Atkinson cycle for the Prius engine was to be able to use 13:1...
It's actually an EV until the battery runs out (first ~40 miles). If you really are concerned about the mpg in "gasoline-only mode" (which is...
