My Chevy Volt
I'm not going to throw in special promotions. How many Volts do you think are sold at MSRP? The big volume dealerships are $2500 under invoice...

I assume the 'aggressive' cooling cycle is close to the Volt cooling cycle.
Wow. a lot of activity since I last came in. Ignoring most of the above, let me tackle the issue of 'why are you lugging around a big engine' and...

I was reminded, the Volts TMS eats up some electrons, which I'll take when you actually have a real investment in a battery. Plus, I rounded up....
Well, there are various forms of loss you could be referring to. Does it take into account that it takes about 13 kWh to charge a 10 kWh...
It IS a comparison. To traditional gas cars, of which there is little to no ambiguity to what they would be getting for gas mileage. You are the...
