* they would make it and offer it as is with motor only ( as I've said before, people would take a sexy car with 50 mpg !) * they would offer to upgrade it (...
I can't remember where I saw a mention of EEStor's capacitor in conjunction with Chevrolet Volt, like GM was sort of looking at using it in the Volt...
I hear you Jim, an all-electric option for the Volt would be great for those who want a longer electric range. But for a mass-marketed vehicle, I think you...
I would prefer GM to offer the option of deleting the ICE-generator. This would increase electric range substantially and reduce purchase cost and maintenance...
There's no reason why the battery system cannot run the AC and heat. The EV1 did it, and so does the RAV4 EV. The RAV4 EV has a great heat pump. Electric...
The batteries are here and proven. NiMH packs have proven themselves worthy in hundreds of Toyota RAV4 EV's and logged hundreds of thousands of miles. I want...
There is nothing about this car that is unique? ... From: chevyvolt@yahoogroups.com [mailto:chevyvolt@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Jerry Woodhaven Sent:...
... Depends on who holds the patents? If GM's got an exclusive agreement with a battery manufacturer, the batteries would happen only for GM, at least for a ...
... The EV1 did. I guess in the U.S., they are innocent until proven guilty. Guilty of crushing the EV1, they are, but the Volt opens a whole new case! I'm...
If the batteries really happen, GM will try to build it. But there is nothing about this car that is unique. So, if the batteries happen, they won't happen...
Yep I am sure that people said that. And maybe I have it all wrong. Hey I bought a Corvair, a Vega, and an early Cavalier so I don't get them all right. BUT ...
Way to go Duane! Stopping by a dealer and asking about the Volt is a great idea, I'm going to do so on Monday. But I'm not surprised they hadn't heard about...
Eric, Jerry: I totally understand your scepticism. GM's track record is all bad news, and crushing the EV1s was stupid. BUT GM IS capable of making a truly...
"Keep waiting dude" ?? Don't you suppose that's what people said when Prius was a concept car? ;-) peace, Linda (who sees that this group is set up to accept...
Keep waiting dude. Jerry Woodhaven, Mi ... From: chevyvolt@yahoogroups.com [mailto:chevyvolt@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Bill Robbins Sent: Saturday, January...
Duane didn't say "dealers don't want it", he said one dealer wasn't aware of it. 2 weeks ago nobody ever heard of the Chevy Volt. It is only a concept car...
I am highly skeptical that ANY battery company with mass production means will ' materialize' .. PANASONIC & Toyota had a court situation on the size of the...
We are giving General Motors too much credit for this "car". I live near the trains. And I see a bunch of diesel electric locomotives every day. So what did...
... If you've ever watched the movie, The American President (Michael Douglas and Annette Bening), you'll recognize the phrase, "20% reduction of the emission...
And that's exactly it .. if the dealers don't want it do you think GM really wants it ? HELL NO !! it's a big media ploy .. its the feel good sensation Bush...
Several days ago I stopped by a local Chevy dealer and asked if they had any sort of sign-up for early reservation to get a Volt. The salesman I spoke to had...
The Volt is supposed to be around $30K. I agree that the Volt concept (electric car, 40 mile electric range, onboard gas engine to charge batteries for long...
I was wondering if there are any economy type cars to be built on the volt principle (more so like the civic or prius) for normal family people? I love my...
Thanks for starting this group, Bill. Like Eric, many of us retain a good bit of skepticism about GM's motives and capability. Recent history suggests that...
Hi Eric: ... Yeah, me too, but you have to admit their announcement of the Volt is way different than anything they said about the EV1. They built the EV1...
I too am a prius owner -- i am pissed at gm ( after seeing the movie 'who killed the electric car').. i also remember reading pop sci mag in the 80's with gm's...
No, I don't work for GM. Actually I am a Prius owner, and I really wish I could plug in my Prius to charge it up. I'm really excited about the Volt, so I...
