Well, it depends.
Johnson used to be a THE lead-acid battery producer. Are they planning in getting into the business of li-ion to strengthen it or to kill it? That is the real question!!

My opinion is a business one not an engineering one. When the feds bailed out GM, I think GM promised high sales for the Volt such that it will cover its development/sunk costs in the third year of...

Wow this is horrible Nissan! You estimated that the average consumer will drive 12.5K/year and will have 80% capacity after 5 years. In Arizona though, your data shows that the average consumer...

Thank you for telling us what the president used to drive before running for office. Unlike you, this kind of information matters to me. I'm just wondering why did you tell us that if you think this...

I'm not a Colorado voter and I dont know anything about this candidate except that he drives a Volt. But I think it is a positive thing. The Volt is an anathema to many republicans, mainly because...

Definitely good news :)

The 200,000 cars is per manufacturer, i.e. the first 200,000 plug-in cars from GM with 16Kwh battery will be eligible for a $7,500 tax rebate, being a Volt, a Spark EV or a Cadillac ELR. The same...

CNN Money is reporting on gas prices hitting $5/g in CA.

I added the following comment. I think it is a good place to convert some...

BP makes sense for a country like Israel. Gas prices are $9/g and people live in apartment building so there is no place to charge at night.
The problem with it though that moving a customer to...

FYI, This technology has been around since WWI and it was widely used in amphibious vehicles in WWII.

Also, (1) August had some great deals, with many dealers slashing thousands off the MSRP price. Some states has thousands of state rebate. If you put all this into account one can get a brand new...

I don't know much about car resale values, but this number doesn't look bad. The value of the car a year ago, after the federal rebate, was 40.5k-7.5k = 33k
The current value s 28k, which means the...

Congrats on your new Volt.
What color is it? I will keep an eye out for you ;)

put me for 2049.

bittersweet!

It seems that GM is trying to control the number they sell every month, around 1700, which I think is smart. Having a steady performance is better than a spotty one. I will go with 1799 for the US on...

Check out this other thread, it is full of Bimmer veterans who switched over to the Volt and they love it.
It will be helpful if someone from Austin can recommend a good dealer who has some...

I think the Volt fits your situation perfectly. On one hand, utility companies sell electricity at a significantly higher price than what they pay for it. So using your solar-generated electricity is...

Indeed, it seems that GM did a great job designing, testing and executing on the Volt.
I remember reading a while ago that GM's original plan was to custom build an ICE for the Volt but with the...

Thank you Henry and Walter,
I must confused the Volt with Via motors' vtrux. Bob Lutz said during his visit to Jay Leno's garage that the ICE in Via trucks runs at a constant rpm, specifically the...
