"The monster, which is an ongoing increasing threat to us, might get more angry at us if it can't keep growing bigger! Solution: feed the monster."

While I agree with you, that EEStor comment tickled my funny bone... so I have to add to your comment:
" 'The future goes for thousands of years' - what an insight. I'd never ...

I LOVE IT! ROFLOL ha ha ha!

Also keep in mind the reproduction of the Volt/GM symbols is illegal AFAIK... just saying.
You could probably get away with it on an individual basis as "artwork" but certainly not ...

wow, bureaucracy, this is sick...

we need legislation with different rules for EREVs. disgusting that you essentially have to spend an additional 40-80 bucks on gas JUST to...

I'm not sure the Cruze Eco wins over the Volt, at all. Combined mileage 33 (hwy 42) makes it a close competitor with Volt's 37. You've probably calculated that 800 mile bit, but ...

I really want Tesla to discover - and patent - a low cost, super high energy density super capacitor, one that could hold 350 kwh, like as much energy as a ten gallon gas tank....

Very interesting... certainly not good for Volt publicity to have the head of GM agreeing (at least in sentiment) with the Forbes article that bashed the Volt...

Just go to Stingray Chevrolet. You can't get the California rebate/ tax credit since you live in Florida. Your best bet is new at Stingray, or used anywhere in the US (just do...

Yeah but chemistry is everything, literally... there is no comparison.

Intentionally discharging would have a definite irreversible battery degradation effect: battery life is a function of number of cycles.
The issue of range degradation being discussed...

An interesting question is whether the GM test Volt batteries were fully cycled, or to what percent discharge were they cycled (10 of 16 kwh repeatedly, or multiple 4 kwh discharges/recharges ...

Interesting article.

I suspect that the memory effect being noted has actually already been described by "A Tale of Two Batteries," which generally taught us that range lost ...

GM May not be paying back their R&D very quickly, but they are NOT losing money on each Volt sale. Lutz knows the facts and said as much himself.

Congrats on getting the best internal-combustion-equipped car in the world.

Volt will amaze you, in good ways. Here's to many happy miles!

Even if you aren't proud of your results ( though I'm sure you'll do well) please do post pics when you're done. cheers

I have to admit, I completely knew what I'd be looking at in the first photo, but was completely amazed by the second photo.
Really nice job, Steverino!

I'd wonder how long that took...
