I agree Noel....but do you want a turbo in your Volt? I don't. The engine is used very seldom and when it is used it is switched on and off....so while a three cyl engine SOUNDS good, I'm not sure a...

The answer is both:
Here is the article on the lead page:

Are you sure that the number in our reports is at the wall??

This is the original, not a reporters interpretation..

I think it is good.

However if I was the FAA I would order Boeing to pursue a chemistry that is less Volatile.

I would like to see a heat soak in a phoenix parking lot in the summer. How fast does the pack heat up? This would give people an idea about how long they can leave their Volt parked before the pack...

When you pull wires back in the attic, run 2. That way ,If you want, you can add 1 more circuit in the future.

I did a math model of this using the Volt's engine map. The results of the analysis were published in a article on the home page. It showed an approx 7% loss for running in pure series with the ICE...

That's about right. I only have a 3kw system and I'm maxed out with 14, 210's on my one circuit (enphase micro's). I wish now I had done 2 circuits. Oh well while I WISH I had more, It is doubtful I...

Ian,
Why am I not getting kwh/mile number on myvolt.com????

Also, how is this number calculated? (when it's there)

What you want to do is substitute EV mode for any place in the route where the ICE is running off peak efficiency. A classic example would be where you are running uphill and the ICE is running at...

Steverino:
Never mind. I found my answer in the 1st post. (approx 250$ total).

Are you doing the extra LEDs so you can get more fault info?

Sano installation and great project I may do this if my SPX quits.

Looks like you had extra Digi Key parts to buy (solenoid?)

How much will this total project cost including all digi key...

In #13 wait4me says TIS MDI is needed to upload into the Volt's ECU

The MDI thread is a sticky in...

I've got no kwh/100 miles again. It comes and goes. Can anyone tell me how that number is calculated... is it based on actual juice going into the car and then back calculated to get the the wall...

This sounds like an expensive set up. MDI by itself isn't cheap plus you need a subscription. I'm not sure what TDS is but I think it is software that is used to write the new files to the Volt's...

Box?= like a windows PC??????

Thx tboult. That's the answer I was looking for. Can you monitor battery temp? If I remember you are not running Dashdaq. It would be interesting to get more data.

Speaking of which:

If we had...

Yeh, but what happens in the scenario I posted in #7 ?

Good one Steverino.

Is one of the ingredients battery temp.?

Lets say you came home on a 70 degree day and charged up the Volt and you live in South Dakota. Then, during the night, a huge cold...

What variables and equations does it use??
