First week of EV driving

The first week of EV driving has been great.  Put on 220 miles this week.  So far we haven't had to use the gas motor backup (as a generator) at all.

  One day we drove the car to a local charging station to try it out.  Drove there just to try it.   So it wasn't useful other than our education.  It was only a 4 mile drive to the charge station from our house and it took about 30min to charge the car to full.  While interesting it showed me that our plan of charging exclusively at the house is the way to go. 





 
When we purchased the car the guessometer said it could go 25miles.  Which was fine for what we needed.  This morning it is up to 36 miles of expected battery range.  And after driving 14 miles to work it guesses I have 29 miles left.  That'd be 43 total miles.  Good deal.








 
When we bought the car the blower fan didn't work.  The owner stated that it probably needed a blower module replaced.  Part number 22745409.  That part number has been replaced by 22813323.  At this time 22813323 is "out of stock with no ETA on availability" at GM.  Grrr.  I did mange to find the old part number for sale and bought it.  Sure enough it fixed it.  Who hoo.  Blower works again.

Still loving the EV life :-)

Blower module

Blower module aka Blower resistor replacement for a 2011 Volt (Gen1)  22745409   First step is to remove the trim on the passenger door sill.  This is required as the right outboard screw holding the lower trim panel on is not accessible with the trim on.  Removal is simply prying it up and then back.  It just has tabs that click into the slots you can see here. The next step is to remove the lower trim panel. There are three screws.  (9/32 socket fits the head) One to the right of this picture.  One to the left.  Then one to the back center (toward the front of the car).  I'll try to circle these in yellow later.  The one in the middle was missing on my car.  Makes me think someone has been here before.   Once the lower trim panel is removed there is an air duct that needs to be removed.  This was missing on my car.  Apparently the person that was in here last...

1 Month with the Chevy Volt

Image
Today has been about month since we brought home the 2011 Volt.  We have put over 400 miles on it.  Only using the range extender once for about 7 miles.  The one time we used the range extender we were finally able to see how far the car would actually go on a charge.  Not just the predicted mileage. Keep in mind we live in the Appalachian mountains.  The roads are very up and down and never straight.  And on this run there were many sections of 55 MPH and we drove in sport mode (We always drive in sport mode).   And well it included a foot to the floor acceleration run from a stop light to 55 mph.  I'm sure that hurt the range.  We weren't seeing how far we could stretch the range.  We were just driving it like we would drive a car.  Anyway we got 42.3 miles on battery power alone.  Which seems right in the neighborhood of what was predicted for the car when it was new.  For a 7 year old car with a 125K miles I'...

Removing the volts front seats.

Image
Our Volt didn't come with heated seats.  For what we paid for the car we were willing to over look it.  But it doesn't mean we didn't want them.  We decided to add some after market seat heaters. To remove the seat from the car:  The seat belt needs to be disconnected from the seat.  to do that pry out the little circle on the plastic bit that connects the belt to the seat.  See the picture below.  Note how the cap stays attached at the bottom. Remove the bolt in the center remove the plastic half. Then simply remove the metal tab that the belt attaches.  Might need to slide it down slightly to get it out. You may also might want to remove the head rest.  It will give more clearance for removing the seat.  Raise the headrest then remove the plastic bezels at the base of the posts by rotating them counter clockwise. To remove the headrest from the seat there is a latch on both posts that must ...
