11. Ooh, Argonne endorses the Chevy Volt!
Edited on Sun Aug-09-09 12:16 AM by wtmusic
What a joke.

Nowhere in the Argonne paper is the Chevy Volt identified by name, or is the engineering of the Volt, its weight, and its efficiencies taken into consideration. These things might just make a little teensy, weensy difference... :eyes:


I see why Chevy might seize on this to include in their PR - it's about the most promising thing that's come out of their empty-shell-of-a-misplaced-phantom-design-concept-idea in the two years they've been hyping it.

The Chevy Volt will never see the light of day, and the reason can be summed up in one word which occurs exactly one time in the Argonne paper: WEIGHT (the paper assumes only hot conditions, and no grade).
