edmunds has been pretty critical of the Volt since the beginning (including that ridiculous force-it-out-of-gas demonstration with the prius chase...
I don't think you're going to see EV and non-EV portions of the pack. It doesn't look like they went with the multiple pack design from the...
I don't know, when I see "cordless" I think antiquated. I'd just as soon get a horse and buggy as another car without a cord. I can't wait to...
I agree using the Kia as the hybrid sedan competitor instead of the market leader prius was a bit lame. However I think overall the reviews were...
Fuel-Sipper Smackdown 4: Which Car Gets the Best Fuel Economy? - Edmunds.com Edmunds found Volt had best mileage and cheapest fuel costs...
Oh god don't start that again! The PHV comes with a cord non-PHV doesn't, using cord and cordless as a differentiator is fine.
I'm thinking the US versions may not have the EV-city function. Sounds like something they had to do to get into European city centers where ICE...
They apparently weight the cycle done with a full battery and with an empty one. I'm getting info from a french site translated to english by...

I do not know, I just found it again in a french article linked to in the other thread: "This corresponds to CO2 emissions of 49 g / km. The latter...
It was more shock, I really did believe the lower limit was 5 kwh so was really surprised the capacity reduced so much from the pre-production...
My error, I posted it quickly in a couple of threads and am trying to go back and correct now. I concur it will qualify for the base $2500 credit.
Edit: I stand corrected. There was a change in 2009 involving 4 kwh and 5 kwh, but I jumped to conclusions in haste rather than being thorough....
Sorry, "not less than 5 kwh of capacity" means does not apply if you do have less. From the IRC quoted on first page of thread: "For vehicles...
Ouch! no tax credit for < 5kwh
