It's hilarious. Ten years ago, they were building a full electric which would have a range of 200 miles with today's lithium ion batteries. You'd think the Volt they're building now has warp drive or something.
Bush has nothing to do with all this crap. The world as a whole does not give a shit about how the world is being taken care! No nation is going to do anything eco/green that is going to cost them money. 90% will not give the eco car crap the time of day. Nice thought but that is where it ends.
@sarahbarah4562 The problem with the Leaf that the Volt does not have is -- once the battery pack is depleted, you're stuck! EREVs or EXTENDED RANGE electrics like the Volt will go as far as a conventional "infernal combustion" car can - but your first 40 miles is pure electric - when you get home, or to a plug ( perhaps at work ) you can plug in. Pure BEVs like the Leaf are limited because of this "range anxiety" - and it's expensive to own as a second or third "around town" vehicle.
Hmmmm the tech is not new, basic the gasoline engine is nothing more but a power station. Once running out of electricity the gasoline engine power the battery while driving. In other word there are no connection between the engine and wheels. So the drive is electric, but stil us a petrol engine as a power source. They us this tech alot now days in freaking train.
i wonder.. if all cars are electric.. hmmm will there be any more car race? wouldnt that uses a lot of electric then? got me thinking though im not a fan of cars.. ehhehe
You ppl are so funny and have a short memory. Pres Bush stated in one of his speech's that the way to force everyone to buy these P.O.S. green cars was to raise the price of gas so high that everyone would not have much of a choice but to go that way. When someone can build a green car worth a shit I will consider it. Until then screw the green shit heads!!
@GhostDog65 Pres Bush, the same guy who is apart of a oil company, who wouldn't listen to him about electric cars?
It cost about a quarter less to run a electric car then a gas car, and don't forget all the less maintenance you'll need to do to keep a electric car going.
Volt sucks, Its not even in production yet and its already outdated, over priced and better yet Government Funded! We paid for it! It has half the range of the EV1 and the EV1 was from the 90's. I double this thing will even make it to the show room, needs some major ramping up and price cuts if they want to sell this thing
News flash: Gas prices in Seattle as of 3/13/'10: Regular Unleaded - OVER $3.00 per gallon!
Economies of scale ramp up when the price of a barrel of oil goes up. People who mocked my hybrid purchase in 2007 - SHUT THEIR MOUTHS when gas went up near $5.00 per gallon in 2008.
@EVpowered What happens in a pure BEV when your trip is longer than the charge you have left in your battery pack? This is why the Volt is FAR SUPERIOR. A Nissan LEAF or any pure battery powered car is a nice thing to have if you want to spend $30,000+ for a second or third car for around town as an urban commuter.
@EVpowered pure battery electric vehicles ( BEVs ) are great ways to commute or do your regular everyday chores that DO NOT require a one-way trip more than 40 miles. The only viable 100% electric car on the market today is the Nissan LEAF. Soon it will be joined by the Ford Focus EV and Mitsubishi "i".
THE PROBLEM with pure electric cars is they have too many severe limitations. As the tech stands today a pure EV serves most best as a 2nd or 3rd car.
For pp posting about coal & the electricity bill. Do calculations before spouting.
The Volt takes 8kWh per 40 mi. Let's assume we lose 20% to grid+charging so use 10kWh (better IRL). Electricity is $0.12/kWh avg. Works out to 3 cents/mi. Gas is $2.75/gal so equivalent to 92mpg car.
Avg US electricity CO2 emissions are 1.329lbs/kWh. Given gas is 19.4lbs/gal, this is equal to a 58mpg car. In CA, emissions are .724lbs/kWh = 107mpg car. So there are huge emissions saving potential.
You are right, the volt is a plug in hybrid with similar technology to a diesel-electric locomotive. Really deep down, the technology isn't new it has been in locomotives for over 50 years. Its still a great car, just need to put this technology a light - heavy pickup.
Your right. The volt is just a plug in hybrid with similar technology to a freight locomotive. Guess who makes locomotive other than GE and others, GM. They had this technology for over 50 over in there locomotives (not the plug in part). But it is still a attractive car but they need to put this technology in pickup trucks.
I wonder what happened to GM's Saturn EV-1 which could go 90 miles to a charge and 120mph. GM has had the technology to produce a car far better than the Volt for the past fifteen years and has chose not to. Report on that Nat Geo.
i heard a guy figured out how to make a car that runs on water then they took him away......or maybe it was an old x files episode......uhhh where are my b vitamins
Wow... that will get me to the gym and a quarter of the way back in the morning. Atleast I can get more exercise walking to a freaking tow...
I'll never own a hybrid... well... porsche's new hybrid system is honest and nice... provides a 120hp 6-8 second boost to performance... does nothing for fuel economy... i can dig that.
25 miles to gym, 15 miles home, 5 mile walk = 40 miles, which is what this thing says you can do without using any fuel... where you getting 100 miles at?
it's not a hybrid vehicle in the traditional sense as it never operates directly from the Infernal Combustion Engine :)
Instead it is an EREV - Extended Range Electric Vehicle - with a 1.4L gas "generator" which runs at constant preset RPM to maintain and protect the pack.
The electric motor drives the front wheels at all times - electricity is being produced by the L ion pack or the gas generator. Unlike any current serial or parallel hybrids extant today.
Electricity is much cheaper than Gasoline. You'll basically pay something on the order of .25 cents per gallon, as opposed to the normal $2.70+ that we have currently. You'd actually be saving quite a bit of money...
Just build a few more nuclear plants like Obama said he would, then can we can all drive these instead of the death trap golf carts Toyota keeps trying to smoke us on!
We would have to work out how much fossil foul it takes to make a certain amount of electricity. Then find out how much electricity it would take to run an electric car, and then calculate it out.
@evildude220 no need bother with your calculations; 1) you'd get different values for different fuel sources (as you know), and the best values you'd get would be from something like solar energy 2) i just wanted to make a point that there is much more to work on than many people think. is it really much better if burn less fossil fuels in our cars by burning more in powerplants? it would be better if we used cars like this, power them with electricity, and generate electricity with solar tech.
I agree with you that we need cleaner/renewable sources of energy, but I was just curious to see what the numbers were.
Assuming we got 100% of our electricity from coal, according to my calculations you would need to burn about 12.5 kg of coal to get 100 miles out of this car.
@obviouslyblack So therefore development of environmentally friendly technologies both in energy production and in replacing these fossil fuels is important. However, seeing that this question appears often, they would most likely have already calculated it before showing it on youtube or to critics.
@ummhea Yups! I just wanted to point a little to the energy production problem. Though I disagree that they would not make a post without considering the problem...
@obviouslyblack With everyone doing things for the money; There might also be a motive behind announcing it without seeing if the foundation will hold or not. Thanks for pointing it out.
40 miles? That isn't even enough to commute back and forth for most people. Sure it's fuel efficient, but I thought this was an 'electric car' not a fuel efficient car with the option of being electric.
this is complete fail. The vast majority of household electrical outlets get the energy from coal factories. This will also send your electrical bill through the roof.
The car also charges itself when the battery runs out. When the car begins to use gasoline, its not only running the car, its also charging itself. I believe it charges when you're idling on gasoline.. nevertheless, this is an amazing car.
you must be talking about a hybrid, all hybrids do just that. this car on the other hand must be plugged in to restore its battery power. it either totally runs on gas(just like a normal car) or totally runs on electricity. the only way to continue driving is refuel or plug into a power source.
how was I not paying attention, It said the car would go 40 miles without any gasoline, and 230 miles to the tank. I was asking if 40 miles without gasoline is really that great of an achievement to boast about, go troll someone else.
Because it won't be cost effective, purely money wise, it will be cheaper to buy a cheaper car, and pay for gas (especially when you consider the high electric bill you will pay to keep the car charging).
I also think it will not drive/handle well, and finding mechanics that know how to work on one will be hard, and finding ones that can do so cheaply will be impossible.
Toyota is having electric problems with their Prius, that will scare away drivers (and maybe for good reason too)
@teamkvs it does go more than 40 miles...it goes 230 ...what they meant about the 40 miles is that it uses electicity then when the battery is low a small gas powered engine kicks in and charges the battery just enoughfor it to keep going...and when you get home your charge it fully
theyd make the money in initial sales, cuz if that car wasnt electric it might be worth $20 grand, but since they have that 40 electric miles as a sales pitch, they can sell well at 35 grand
I have to agree you on that one. I have never been into american cars but they said over 200mpg and it actually looks really nice. I think it's surely worth the 30-40k they are asking. I would save that during the life of the car.
are people forgetting that gm already made an electric car that was very successful. but they killed it and replaced with the gas guzzling h2. if they only kept that car and improved it, then gm wouldn't be in the position that it is now...

did you guys catch that they said 230 mpg, even though they also said that it runs on only electricity
eggxactly410 1 year ago
Well they said it travels 40 miles without using a drop of gasoline. So I'm guessing it takes some gasoline if you don't recharge it after 40 miles?

my guess is they are talking about price per gallon compared to electricity.

Then how would they make money...?
AfricanMadman 1 year ago
theyd make the money in initial sales, cuz if that car wasnt electric it might be worth $20 grand, but since they have that 40 electric miles as a sales pitch, they can sell well at 35 grand

I think Honda has one produced already but i'm not sure why they aren't selling it.

i think its nissan, and this is an actual good looking car, that one looks like a fucking beetle hahah

I have to agree you on that one. I have never been into american cars but they said over 200mpg and it actually looks really nice. I think it's surely worth the 30-40k they are asking. I would save that during the life of the car.

We need cars with two-color paint schemes, lots of chrome, and FINS! ^_^

are people forgetting that gm already made an electric car that was very successful. but they killed it and replaced with the gas guzzling h2. if they only kept that car and improved it, then gm wouldn't be in the position that it is now...

Not a bad looking car for the phenominal gas mileage you're getting.

I dont see the use in electrical cars right now. I mean, global warming has been disproved. Might as well use up all the gas first.

If I were to buy this car I would most likely never have to buy gasoline again since I rarely drive over 40 miles in a day. And THAT would be tits.
