Separate names with a comma.
Okay. With 2.75 kWh to charge and 11 miles on battery for 20 miles in Vancouver, BC electric and gas prices (converted to USD), the Volt fuel is...
GM pulls support for Heartland Institute - Los Angeles Times
I suppose I could make a lookup table with different ranges for different vehicles, driving styles, and weather.
Anecdotally, I have two friends who are car dealer professionals (one owner, one manager). Dealers seem to have about as much in common as any...
No offense intended. I'm only trying to point out that isolated anecdotal testimony isn't of much use when making these comparisons. Cargo space...
Just saying, it is not true, especially not in the case of the Volt which has topped available measures of reliability for the 2011 model. Dated...
It's pretty bad. The nearest place I can buy one is 100 miles away and their asking price was $1,500 above MSRP for the base model. I briefly...
If useful, for Volt purchase: Cost: $30,000 (yes, this required some work), -$1,500 state incentive, -$7,500 federal incentive, +$2,250 sales tax...
Fwiw, GM reliability ratings have steadily improved over the years. We could talk about their 1990s cars, but we could also talk about Toyota's...
Difference is larger with greater disparity between gas/electric. Still not a massive difference for the particular commute.[ATTACH]
It could be noted that in BC, electricity costs the equivalent of $0.07 / kWh and gasoline is currently the equivalent of $4.50 / gallon
$0.90 per day at 35 miles - $4.91 for the one trip.
On the GM-Volt site, I've noticed that the most common complaints about problems are things you would pick up on if you physically examined the...
Thanks. Admittedly have no idea even though I know people with PiPs as the weather never gets that cold where I live. And, even if that did...
I thought we were comparing PIP to Volt. Earlier in the thread, there was all sorts of talk about comparing the efficiency of either over some...
Got it. Changed that up. This does change the calc by $10 or so per year in the different scenario. I suppose I should really change the amount...
I am just trying to demonstrate that comparing the efficiency of those two vehicles is really silly. I would recommend buying one depending on how...
That is based on the EPA figure which is likely incorrect. Probably should be 30–33 kWh / 100 miles.
Good point. The engine warms up quicker than the older Prius, but still needs some time to warm up. I have read that if you start on electric and...
Here is Volt vs. PIP fuel economy at 20 and 100 miles. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
