Juice Minivan Volt 
Cars That Think
JANUARY 6, 2025
The Chevrolet Volt , produced from 2010 to 2019, also used its gasoline engine largely as a generator, although it could partially propel the car in certain conditions. And unlike many PHEVs, whose performance suffers when they rely on battery juice alone, the Ramcharger doesnt skimp on power.

Buzz was easy to juice up with useful info provided on the center screen. There were seven USB-C ports throughout, a 12-volt outlet in the back (which we used for a fridge), and a European-style house plug on the passenger’s seat base. We usually charged to 80% during the day and went to 100% before finding camp in the evening.

That’s not surprising—the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, the company’s only previous plug-in hybrid, is a well-executed PHEV with an EPA-rated 32 miles of usable electric range that retains all the virtues of the Pacifica minivan. The two couldn’t be more different. Default: hybrid, not EV. Instead, Hybrid is the default mode. 54k MSRP.

The basic equation governing the charging of batteries is W = V * A, or to put it into words, Watts equals Volts times Amps. Chrysler used this for their EPIC Minivan and could charge at a rate of about one mile per minute. Some industrial sites are even set up with 440V 3 phase service.

Therefore, until we get quick-charge batteries -- based on new breakthroughs, Ill take a WAG and estimate that we will have real 5-minute quick-charge batteries in perhaps 10 years -- we are likely to get our juice mostly from our home chargers. Vancouvers trolley bus fleet operates at 600 volts and god knows how many amps.
