VOLT:lle kehuja

Aika epätodennäköistä olisikin että omistaiset sellaisen, kun ei niitä ole suomessa kuin viisi rekisteröity ja yksi tuotu muuttoautona. :) Opelin logolla noita on sitten tusinoittain liikenteessä.

Itse autohan on loistava keulakoristeesta riippumatta.

Sisarmalli Opel Amperalle ei sitten kehuja ole tullut kuin 52 eri palkinnon, kuten Car of the Year 2012, voitosta :)

The 2014 Cadillac ELR was awarded the Green Car of the Year at the Washington Auto Show.

Tämäkin on siis sama auto, mutta varustettuna 30000$ blingbling varusteilla kuten LED valot, 20 suuntaan sähköisesti säätyvät penkit kuljettajan tunnistuksella, aktiivinen äänen vaimennus, jne.

Tuolla aktiivisella äänen vaimennuksella varmaankin saa sen lintujen viserryksen ja heinäsirkkojen sirityksen kumottua.. Se kun kuuluu Voltissa/Amperassa auton sisälle koska normaaleja auton ääniä ei ole näitä peittämässä.

Ja lisää kehuja, tosin vain toinen sija sub-compact luokassa.

Tuulilasin ekoauto 2014 vertailussa toinen sija.

Tai oikeammin ensimmäinen sija, koska ykköspaikan napanneella Nissan Leafilla ei pääse perille jos kotinurkilta koittaa kauemmaksi lähteä.

Volt - Sähköauto päivittäisessä ajossa, polttomoottoriauto silloin kun sitä tarvitset.

Jokohan voltin kannattajat ovat hiljaa, varmaan general mistakekin seuraa pian maailman isointa autonvalmistajaa, voivat toki ensin heittää voltin, muhahahahaa.

Aina vaan kehnompaan suuntaan mennään jos polttomoottoria pienennetään, tuollaisen litrasen koneen elinikä on korkeintaan 200tkm, Suomen olosuhteissa n. 150tkm.
Tietysti sinänsä järkevää että mitoitetaan moottori akkujen keston mukaan niin auton saa sitten paalata, kumpi sattuu ennemmin sippaamaan.

Akkujen käyttöikä valmistajan mukaan n. 130-160tkm, että silleen, vai että miljoona voltilla, muhahahahaaa

Toyotahan ilmoitti lopettavansa sähköautojen valmistuksen ja kehittävänsä vetytegnologiaa.
Nettiautosta löytyi kolme priusta joilla ajettu yli 300000km eikä yhdelläkään yli puolta miljoonaa, kuka taksari viitsii muka ajaa sellasella rimpulalla missä ei ole edes kunnon tiloja kyseisiä km määriä.

Voltin kakkosversion verhoa on raoitettu pikkuisen.

- 5 paikkaa
-1.5l generaattori
- Isompi akku

Saatavuus syksyllä 2015 rapakon toisella puolella, euroopassa ei koskaan.

Totta, mutta oikea luku on 17.1 kWh - valmistajan sivuilta. Valitettavasti hieman liian vähän edelleenkin. Saisi olla 20-22kWh, jotta pääsisin työmatka yhdellä latauksella ilman bensaa. Nykyinen työmatka on noin 105km päivittäin - lähempää ei löydy koulutusta vastaavaa mielekästä työtä ja toisaalta en halua muuttaa työn perässä - ne juuret ovat lujassa. Töissä ei ole latauspistettä.

Ensimmäinen versio 2011 16kWh ja seuraava 16.5kWh 16.8 kWh on minulle tuntematon luku. Niin tai näin - suunta on oikea.

Ostinpa premium trim voltin täältä kaliforniasta ja kelkon loppukesästä suomeen. Loistava vehje kerta kaikkiaan. Hyvä ajaa, edellisellä SF keikalla (180km) polttoainetta kului vajaa 2 litraa. Autossa ei tosiaan taida olla muuta vikaa kuin nelipaikkaisuus.
