RCCI results in efficient, premixed-charge combustion with near zero levels of NO x and soot. You can’t eliminate friction, but we’re getting pretty close to the maximum amount of mechanical energy we can get from breaking a chemical bond. Earlier post.). Fundamentally you can’t get too much better than this.

Based on a GM study of more than 300 model year 2011 and 2012 Volts in service in California for more than 30 months, many owners are exceeding the EPA-rated label of 35 miles (56 km) of EV range per full charge, with about 15% surpassing 40 miles (64 km) of range. The Voltec range extender also runs on regular unleaded fuel.
