My local university (UW Madison) didn't win this one but has won some of the previous DOE challenges (first place in FutureTruck, second place...

My tax preparer uses professional software and the full EV credit took hold. However, the extra I would have gotten for my L2 "alt fuel vehicle fueling equipment" was wiped out my AMT. We filed the...

The disadvantage to daytime charging is of course that is when the grid is at its highest load. I try to charge at night when I can and only take advantage of (free) daytime charging if I have...

I agree that the backlights are likely LED and so you don't have to worry about lamp life.

My theory as to why they come on so often is because there might be safety indications they might want to...

One more data point to add: My friend's 2013 has rebooted twice. My 2012 has never done this.

I've been considering a mod like this, but haven't had the time to implement it. I was going to get a little fancier using a microcontroller with a digital pot device for the output. It would report...

I think Chevy even give dealers an allowance for removing the graphic, in case the buyer doesn't like them. There were two graphics they could choose from, one large and one small. I would imagine...

Yes, I have black leather seats with Spice Red inserts. I really like it. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the graphics on the door panels, but they are nice. I particularly like the red seat...

Is this an area you are familiar with? I recall an incident years ago where I was confused about why my car was having such a hard time driving on a regular road when I finally realized I was on a...

I agree, there is no accounting for taste, and everyone's is different. I've seen entire Jeeps that same color. The whole body! I bet they don't get hit much (trying to say something positive...).

The 2011/2012 always show the gas gauge instead of the battery gauge during ERDTT. The 2013 often shows the battery gauge during ERDTLT. However, it appears that in some cases is shows the gas gauge...

One would assume all that energy isn't going to waste. Let's hope not.

This happened to me this week too, and I was going to post a message about it but when I saw this thread I realized I'm not the only one.

After a month-plus of ERDTT (2012) I was flabbergasted...

When my 2012 Volt does the "Engine Running Due to Temperature" it switches the display from the Battery Gauge to the Gas Gauge. My friend says his 2013 still shows the Battery Gauge when his does...

A data point from one year ago: My Volt was made on Valentine's day 02/14/2012 and I picked it up from the dealer on March first. I'm only one state away; your rail (or truck) delivery might take...

Cesium, this is really impressive! Thank you for sharing it.

In my experience, mode #3 will start charging at the start of the off-peak window. I am glad it does this, since I didn't like the idea of delaying until a window before my departure.

Me too; I'm registered now. We'll see where it goes.

This is a discrepency worth investigating, but may be less significant than people realize. People think it is like claiming 27 but getting 18 but it's actually more like claiming 27 and getting 24,...

Correction: I am fairly sure the term "State of Charge" (SOC) refers to actual charge in the battery and should never reach 0%. When the DIC shows 0 miles, there is still charge in the battery. It is...
