my kWh/Charge seems to have taken a rapid drop from 10.4 kWh to 10.1 kWh. I am wondering if this is battery degradation, some mileage triggered recalibration, or perhaps a software change pushed over...

I usually don't exceed my battery capacity before being able to recharge but I have managed to do so a couple of times recently and was concerned that the ICE kicked in after using only 10.1 kWh. The...

make sure you adjust the battery kWh to your model. The default is 16kWh which is wrong and should be a 10.4kWh for a 2012 model.

The green ball doesn't give you an audible alert.

The Energy Efficiency screen doesn't give your a Drive Score, although it does give you some information toward arriving at a score. i.e. the...

Anybody look at this yet?

I don't think they have anything specific to the Ampera/Volt yet but they have a nice start.

Huh? There is very little overlap with the Volt.

Where is your car?
Speeding?
Rough Braking Alert?
Rapid Acceleration Alert?
Trip Timeline?
Drive Score?

Check Engine Alert?

I paid for OnStar and MyVolt.com with the vehicle so I expect it to work as described. It seems to be a flawed product, perhaps just another quality problem that seems to have plagued GM for years.

I would rather have a Honda motor/generator than the RATO brand.

Any idea what size battery is included? Can an external battery pack be connected to expand the storage capacity?

Will the...

I would expect shopping and entertainment venues to lead the way. Getting a charge while shopping at the mall, watching a movie, having a meal, etc ...

I remember a very effective "free gasoline for a year" promotion from my youth. Volt dealers should try a "free electric charging for a year" promotion.

The actual mechanics of the promotion...

Since OnStar is not available for our European cohorts, I doubt the car will suffer functionality from having the module disabled. I would prefer an on/off switch, or pulling a fuse, rather than...

What is clear is that Broder knows how to craft a story. It was just unclear to the uninformed reader that it was fiction, just like the scripted Top Gear episode.

I am pretty sure the openvehicles group has an ampera solution working or in beta at this time.

I think the plan for the Model S is 400 unit per week, 20,000 per year. They achieved the 400/wk rate a month or so ago and this rate should result in profitability.

The high volume model is...

Just a guess. You know more about the internals than I do.

I have been watching MGA and MGB and it seems that current acceleration (electric only) is limited to just one motor. In looking at the specs for the ELR, it seems that they might have re-programmed...

at this point it is more a frustration with GM and OnStar.

so much of the value of this vehicle is dependent on GM and OnStar executing quality.

So it has been a few months and I get a regular call from a girl at OnStar checking to see if the problem has been fixed.

MyVolt.com still shows a bogus extra 32 gallons of gasoline being...

time to add some versioning to the csv, can I suggest a simple date stamp suffix.

ie. GMVolt-130201.csv
