In addition to keeping the tank pressurized, the Volt monitors the age of the fuel in the tank, and prompts the driver to burn some gas to both keep the engine lubricated, as well as keep the average fuel age less than a year...
I read everything on both MNL and gm-volt forums daily, and enjoy all discussions on electric cars.
We are all on the same team here, trying to show the world that we can reduce dependence on oil AND have fun with cool technology at the same time. :)
:D You have no idea!
I have had my Volt since March of this year. I love driving all-electric, and hate when I have to drive 140 miles and burn gas. I have ICE anxiety, not range anxiety!
I have a deposit on a Tesla Model S, which is pricey. A Leaf is oh-so-close, but not practical for me...
Thank you Phil for researching and implementing this great upgrade!
I for one am very excited to have my rev 1 unit upgraded to rev 2, and will be checking this thread and evseupgrade.com daily for the announcement that you are ready! :D
