Weber State University (WSU) - Department of Automotive Technology - Ardell Brown Technology Wing - Transmission Lab. So 55.5Wh/3.7V = 15 Ah rather than the 55.5 Ah I mistakenly said/displayed in the video. If an individual cell is rated at 55.5Wh (using units of measure) Power (Wh) = EMF (V) x Current (A), then the current rating would be Wh/V = Ah. This transaxle is used in a Malibu Hybrid with only 4 modes (they removed the series mode). Two modes are electric only, one mode is a series-hybrid mode, and the Two remaining modes (series-parallel) allow the ICE to contribute torque to the wheels through the planet carrier of the input gear set. The 2nd generation Volt's 5ET50 transaxle has 5 modes of operation. The fourth mode (Electric Only Combined Engine On) is a series-parallel mode. *Series Hybrid Clarification: The 1st generation Volt is a series hybrid in 3 out of 4 modes of operation of the 4ET50 transaxle.

Video Description via WeberAuto on YouTube:Ģ018 Chevrolet Volt 355.2V Li-Ion Battery - Deep Dive However, it's surely fascinating and especially interesting to those who take interest in such things. We won't try to convince you that watching a two-hour video about a battery is exciting. Regardless, it seems that as GM moves forward with its new electric vehicle push, the Volt's days will be numbered. Sadly, its reign may come to an end soon due to long-awaited stiff competition from a multitude of new plug-in hybrid vehicles. The Volt has seen many years of success for the segment since its inception in 2011. It starts at $34,095 and qualifies for the entire $7,500 U.S. The Volt boasts a whopping 53 miles of all-electric range and 420 total miles of range. It features an 18.4 kWh 355.3 Volt lithium-ion battery pack. The Volt is a series hybrid, and GM calls it an extended-range electric vehicle. Despite the Chevrolet Volt's decreasing sales in 2017, it's still the best-selling plug-in hybrid to date, and its long-range battery and award-winning motor/engine combination is the primary reason why.
