The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid and extended-range electric vehicle car that was manufactured by General Motors, and also marketed in rebadged variants as the Holden Volt in Australia and New Zealand and the Buick Velite 5 in China, and with a different fascia as the Vauxhall Ampera in the United Kingdom and as the Opel Ampera in the remainder of Europe.
The battery capacity was increased to 16.5 kWh for the 2013 model year, and the SoC window was increased to use 10.8 kWh of the total battery energy, and the buffer to ensure battery life longevity. These adjustments extend the Volt's all-electric range, albeit with a marginal increase in charging duration.
Chevrolet expects that many 2016 Volt owners will run using only the battery for 90% of their daily trips, up from 80% for the first generation owners based on OnStar data and other studies. [5] The Volt's onboard charger can handle 3.6 kW, [ 20 ] which is sufficient for overnight charging at the owner's home but falls short of the capabilities ...
A small electric car like the Mini Cooper E has a 36.6 kWh battery, while a mid-size car like the Polestar 2 has battery size options of 69 kWH and 82 kWh, and a larger EV like the Porsche Macan ...

General Motors describes the Chevrolet Volt as an electric vehicle equipped with a 16 kWh battery plus a "range extending" gasoline powered internal combustion engine (ICE) as a genset and therefore dubbed the Volt an "Extended ...
The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid uses the same basic two-motor Voltec drive unit/transaxle design and general layout as the second-generation Volt; however, compared to the Volt, the Malibu Hybrid is not a plug-in hybrid and has a smaller battery. Consequently, the Malibu Hybrid operates in the charge-sustaining (CSx) modes more often, and is fitted ...
The Volt gets 38 miles of all-electric range, the Prius Prime is rated for 39 (44 with smaller wheels). How did we go so damn long with only minimal improvements on the original PHEV formula?
Ultium is characterized by a modular layout, using an Ultium battery to supply power to one or two Ultium Drive unit(s) using a common set of power electronics (charging, battery management system, and inverter). The high-voltage battery is composed of pouch cells that can be stacked horizontally or vertically, depending on the form factor ...
