Fish Chris Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 My opinion is that it's a pretty nice looking car. It's good for the environment (although the whole green movement amounts to nothing but pissing in the wind, with a human pop. of 6 1/2 billion and climbing) And very importantly to me, is the fact that since this is an "all electric car", I wouldn't even dream of adding any kind of aftermarket stereo, nor anything else that drank any appreciable amount of juice. Finally, I think I'd wait a generation or two (in automotive terms, that is) for any bugs to get worked out, and also, better / cheaper / lighter batteries to start being produced.

inm Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 If you're interesting in it for the "green-ness" of it, then don't get it. The power plants that produce the electricity for that car put out plenty of pollution. More electric cars = more pollution from those plants = no real advantage.

LilTeddyP Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I don't want to get flamed for this, but how well would a system do in an electric car? I love the way the volt looks, and I don't like it for the environment, I like it for my wallet.

30Hz.wav Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I always wondered, if an electric car can move 4 alternators, would it be able to generate power for itself, therefore never needing to charge it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Chris Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Uhhhh.... No. This would completely go against the laws of physics. Fish PS, And hey LilTed, one of the biggest drawbacks of electric cars "as it already stands" is their limited range. Any kind of sound system, especially a higher powered one, would hurt your range even more ! Totally poor choice for a vehicle with a high powered sound system.

n8ball2013 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 actually all the electronics from an electric car are ran off a 12volt system. the electric motor itself has a separate bank for it. You could put a system in it but if you dont live in a big city where you can find power all the time I wouldnt even bother Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

jobab06 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 If i can remember correctly the Chevy Volt has a on board gas generator that creates electricity that powers the Volt so it can drive for hundreds of additional miles so its not all the way electric. so if you run out of power it runs on gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
