From what I understand, the next gen F1 racing engines that will be on the track in a couple of years will use compound turbos with motor/generator on the turbo shaft. The genset compound turbo...

Oh we'll, I guess I'll bring up thr NSX again, lol. For anyone who has never sat in an NSX,or any low slung mid-engine car. They offer exceptional front visibility. The NSX nose is low and short,...

I have NSX too, 99 Zanadi Edition #2. It's stock of course, no turbo or SC. Are you Active on NSXPrime? Such a different beast to drive, the NSX compared to effortless EV of the Volt. I never...

Maybe you can answer this question. I have always thought the reason many sales people are un-enthusiastic about selling the Volt, or even leaning about it, is because the company (dealership)...

I especially like how Tesla Motors plans on using wind speed information for route and energy planning. I believe wind conditions are more important than mountain climbing in an EV. When climbing,...

Amazing that new homes are still wired with "stab" connections. How is it that this could be code? For years, we've talked about the dangers while charging the Volt with an outlet wired with stab...

FYI, when in extended range mode, the ICE engages to the wheels at a steady state cruising (ie not hard accelerating) at speeds as low as 35-40 ish MPH. Under normal driving, probably 80% or more of...

My Volt will engage ICE to ring gear as low as 35-40ish MPH when on CS mode as long as I am at steady state cruise to very slight accelerating. If I am accelerating hard it will stay in series until...

I think some blinks at comercial locations charge at 208-211 volts instead of 240v. They tap off of two of the three legs from a comercial 3 phase 480v main. The lower voltage will take longer to...

I wanted to mention, An easy way to listen to the ICE starting is to open the Volt's hood with the car powered on in park. Or just turn on the car with the hood already open. There's a brief pause...

The first gen Honda Civic Hybrid (2003-2005) DOES have a conventional 12v starter, just in case there's not enough energy in the HV battery to use the IMA motor to start the ICE. Before I bought my...

I am curious about how you are installing PV solar on your town home roof. Do you have a HOA? Do you actually OWN the roof on your townhome? In my townhome in north Texas, I have an HOA and the...

I also believe he was hearing the sound of the electric AC compressor running for TMS. It can get quite loud when it runs at high speed. The AC will kick on and off while charging if the air temp...

I take back what I said, after watching four times, lol.....it does sound like a v10. It's the other sound of the turbos going full boost in 2nd gear that throws me off with the sound. Almost...

That's an impressive Lamborghini. I'm confused it sounds like a turbo v12 but I read it's v10? V10 has a distinctive exhaust tone. It's a sexy insane race car with a more sexy sound, but I'm sure...

I want to add to RedneckRoyalty's answer that when charging on Level 2, the charging rate is 3.3KW. 244V @ 13.5 amps. Charging level 1 is about 1.5 KW....120V @ 13 amps. The limiting factor in...

I think I read somewhere a long time ago, that when Nissan re-sells Leafs that were previously leased, they will replace the battery with a new or remanufactured battery. However I would only...

I would love to have more customizable LCD screens in my Volt. I would like a page on the center screen that showed more of the "under the hood" data like motor RPMs, clutch settings, battery SOC...

Sounds like any full size American sedan from 1970 to 1986. Chevy caprice or Ford LTD?
