Perhaps they just lifted the idea of the serial hybrid from some internet site! They are so dumb, they think the "range-extender" is to be used to charge the...
The VOLT battery is dual-sourced, apparently in case one fails, they have the other. This is very unsettling, they seem not knowing even if the battery will...
GM is claiming that Nickel or Lead batteries won't do for an Electric car. This is palpably false, as GM should know, because of the: 1997 EV1 with Panasonic...
Hi, It's all but certain that the VOLT is merely a PR shuck, but many well-intentioned people have been sucked in by GM's PR ploy. GM can at any time build a...
NiMH is perfect for a serial hybrid like the supposed Chevy Volt. NiMH likes to be left only partially charged, contrary to Lead, which likes to be kept full. ...
Hello Doug I wanted to comment on the 40 mile range. True any converter could build a 40 mile range EV but that would be under the best circumstances. With a ...
Actually, there are a lot of 50-50 conversions using plentiful golf- cart batteries like the T-105 or US-2200. 50 miles range at 50 miles per hour. These can...
But there are LOTS of 40-mile-range EVs. It's EASY to make a 40-mile- range EV, and add on a small genset. So why does Lutz think it would take battery...

GM fails to mention that the EV1 came with THREE battery packs, the 1300 lb. defective Delco lead-acid pack (16 kWh), the PSB 1300 lead- acid pack (18 kWh),...
At the VOLT expo, where supposedly GM was "coming clean" about the VOLT, GM succeeded in pulling the wool over the eyes of the press, some of whom came away...
The thing is, Toyota is now the worldwide sales leader, dominating all markets with control of the NiMH battery technology, the dominating hybrid, extremely...
GM's Rick "rickety" Wagoner brings his horse-and-horsepuckey show to San Francisco May 1, to spread more bittersweet lies and disinformation. If it's a GM...
There still is the remnant of a GM fan club (!!) of fanatical (former) EV1 once-pro-GM drivers: http://EV1-club.power.net Can you imagine anyone STUPID enough...
Why did GM do it?! Why did toyota stop making rav4 EV?! I'm really considering a vectrix and some solar panels (around $12,000). ... From: doug korthof...
When I first heard about the concept behind the Volt, my first reaction was "Finally, they figured out a simple thing!". What I mean by simple is that...
I agree, what do you think of this? http://www.rmartinbikes.com/evd ... From: imtrekd <imtrekd@...> To: Chevy-Volt@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 23,...
I have to disagree the concept is good. The batteries are even better. The new A123 batteries are outstanding. They are the real deal. I know of several...
Can you cite the examples of A123 vatteries used in "...FULL SIZED PURE EVS..."? (emphasis added) The issue is not whether they work, the issue is how long...

These are all very impressive and wonderful.  But the claim is that no EV has driven more than 50K miles on Lithium without significant battery degradation....
Stephen may be getting close to 50K. His Solectria has been on the road for three years. He has several EVs so he may not be racking up the miles. Only his...
My prediction: GM will lease the batteries, so you can't extract them, sell them and replace them with lead-acid; the batteries will be protected by the engine...
The leasing of the battery pack is possible. Starting up the generator would be totally unnecessary. A pack of A123 batteries that has 40 miles range would be...
I don't disagree with the batteries, but my point is to forget the batteries for now and bring the car to market faster at a much cheaper price, get people...
Here is the problem People feel if they can afford to pay for it they have a right to burn up energy as fast as they would like. They have no idea how much...
