I think he's pretty on the money. GM started by pitching an edgy, high performance car with 40 miles of electric range and 50mpg after that for...
very nice indeed, good finds! Rob
Warp Stealth is the orange arrows from battery to emotor to wheels above 42mph mode. It is generally harder to get into than regular stealth...
I like it :D
Yeah, I had been thinking about doing the same. Cheapest way would be to develop a uC board to read the CAN data and interface to the LED board....
Fun survey, thanks for posting the results.
Probably not. There have been a number of situations reported where ECUs and codes had to be reset before the car would start. Usually that was...
Simply put, the battery will just get the difference between the current in from generator and the current going out to the motor. If they are...
It will be 150hp until it hits its hard lower limit (to protect the battery). Then it will be limited to the power of the ICE minus the...
Keep up the great work! Have you settled on using Norm's new battery management system? Have been sort of intrigued by that, will be curious to...
The stats aren't on the page, I had to read through basically every article they linked to put numbers together. Which is part of my point....

I agree, but its a tough call where to draw that line. Lets say the ICE is more efficient at full load, ie when cruising and charging the battery...
Its also interesting to consider, that if the Volt is not charging the battery significantly in charge sustain mode it doesn't make sense that the...
I don't think thats correct. GM has already stated that the peak power out of the ICE is 72hp as I recall. When the battery hits its lower...
I think that is correct. It will not go into electric mode anymore. What it may do is use a little power from the battery to give you a little...
Despite the hype, this is what many have believed for some time. Its not exactly shocking, this is how most plug in hybrids operate. Just one...
I'm not sure thats quite true, at least according to yahoo auto. '09 Jetta TDI / Prius Headroom (Front) 38.5 / 39.1 Headroom (Row 2) 37.2 / 37.1...
