Loading the Battery into the Chevrolet Volt

[Zeroto90]

I understand why they build this car, but its capabilities dont exceed what we already have, for example it doesnt out do a jetta diesel in gas mileage,

[JThor001]

buddy, it's 33 K... but then add in government subsidies and State subsidies (depending on where you live) it can drop as low as 21K....that's about how much everyone pays for a regular car. STFU

This will not change shit unless the technology becomes cheap enough for everyone to have one. If only 40 out of 100 people are not assholes, thats still 60 assholes that are there fucking shit up.

f overnight everyone had one these vehicles how many more power stations would have to be built to supply power? how do they dispose of a bank of expired batteries?, how much/how often do batteries need to be replaced? cost? ,internal combustion engine ,electric motor, electric solenoids, regenerative brakeing,more complexity, down the track more to go wrong and cost, or am i wrong? many unanswered questions.,,,,,,,thnx fo the next VEGA

"f overnight everyone"

luckly, miracles don't happen. especially overnight, so don't panic

[ndyt]

wasjunk, yes, you are wrong. If everyone had a pure EV (worse then everyone having a Volt) then we would have 80% capacity NOW as long as everyone charged at night. So, this is a non-issue since adoption will be slower. Batter should be better then 70% capacity after 10 years of use. Cost will be under $30k. Volt as fewer moving parts because it has no transmission. Engine gets much less wear because electric mode hands most driving.

way to ruin ev1 go TESLA!

[andrejog1]

hope for

late 2010 we will see it, the volt need to have extended range at least 100 miles on electrically

[DanFrederiksen]

it's too little too late. it's the same overweight car philosophy made of soft heavy steel.

i tried shazaming the song with my iphone but didn't work... does anyone know the name of the song?

The cost to service a Chevy Volt will be ENORMOUS. You'll have to take it to the dealer to have it fixed because most mechanics have no idea how to service it.

[HB45175]

You've never heard of warranty, have you?

[TranCendenZ]

HB45175:  Warranties expire.

You would service the same as any car. Oil changes when needed. The electric part of the car needs no servicing.
