Volt Stats Website / Source Code

[mrosack]

I'm going to try letting everyone know about this one more time, and if no one's interested I'll let it die. I've got my Volt stats website up and running here:

http://www.voltstats.net

I haven't had as much time lately to work on it as I'd like, but it's functional and I've been tracking my Volt's stats for a couple weeks now. I'm interfacing with the webservice that the mobile apps use, but I'm really curious to see what the enhancements are to myvolt.com that are "coming soon", and hopefully I can interface there if the data's a lot better.

Anyway, my goal is to get a leaderboard together where we can compare everyone's stats. Yes, this means you have to register your Onstar login/password with the site, but without your Onstar PIN I don't think there's any way I could send any commands to the car. I've also published the source code to github in case it'll make anyone feel any better about registering their car on the site:

https://github.com/mrosack/VoltInterface

It's an ASP.NET MVC 2/MonoBuilder project, although it could easily be converted to VS 2010 format. If anyone would like to contribute, or even rip it off, feel free.

Good idea... I've been waiting for a place that has volt owners stats that are updated....

So far all we can get is bits and pieces....

So far it looks like to me that the Volt is far exceeding the sticker MPGs.

Especially for the the daily commuter.

I've seen from 100 to 400 mpg for daily commutes.

Lovely, cannot wait to get my hands on it, with my background in .NET and Adobe Flex (for cool charting)

I added my car, it hasn't shown up yet but fingers crossed!

Thanks for adding your cars, guys - unfortunately, I'm having trouble syncing any cars except mine. I'll look at it more first thing in the morning, hopefully it's not a showstopper!

I added mine as well. It told me I was on but couldn't do anything. I don't have a smart phone though. I can only estimate my EV miles. Take Care, TED Volt #1506

Let us know. I'd be willing to add mine as well. Love to see this stuff happen automatically. You'd expect GM to offer something like this as an opt-in feature in the future.

"Similar Threads" showed your other/1st thread for those interested: http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread....-Stats-Website

If you added your car before this message, you'll have to add it again, there was a bug in the registration code. I think it's all working, now - if you don't get asked to enter a confirmation code from your email (similar to what happens when you register a mobile device), it didn't work, please let me know. Thanks!

Great site. Just registered and waiting my 6 hours till Jewel 177 shows up. I think Chevrolet / GM should make this type of information available for any new Volt potential buyer. Of course there will be some who have the "Big Brother is Watching You" complex that will refuse to participate. Your FAQ's satisfied me that my security and my car's will be maintained.
