Saw the Volt looked clean and no accidents, the car charged no problem. The only issue was my scanner pulled a P1E00 error code. I've read a few threads what it could be, but none of thread mentioned any solution or why a Volt would pull this error except BCM issues, charging port issues, or possibly the main Hybrid battery with charging problem. Is this a problem that can be fixed or might be hiding a large problem and avoid buying this Volt? Please help me understand this issue and will... 2013 Volt with P1E00 code and is this error code an expensive fix ..read more

The first type of hybrids (Prius like) are ICE cars with a tiny battery to capture regen braking and an electric motor to assist the Gas engine The second type like the Chevy Volt was a pure electric Vehicle, with a small battery and a fully powered gas engine used primarily for generating electricity, but also contribute to the drive train. Because of the very limited battery capacity, the engine needed to be able to fully power the car by itself, making it big and costly. Making the...

yes , I know. might say buy any EV. But my question is why not, we can convert phev to partial EV just by adding few used modules or after market modules in trunk. when trunk space is needed just unplug the extra module. As simple as now a days phone backup power adapter. personally I feel 60- to 80 EV miles range would have been ideal ..read more

In 2019, I bought my 2017 Volt wholesale and paid to have it transported out here to Colorado from Massachusetts. The listing made clear it did not include the charging cable, so I bought one from Amazon and had it ready when the Volt arrived. Looked just like the first picture, in that it has a NEMA 6-20 to NEMA 5-15 adapter, which, if you remove, you can plug into a NEMA 6-20R receptacle which is what I did at my old house. ' The flexible black plastic piece covering the charger and its... Aftermarket EVSE ..read more

Is there a Suggested resistance value lower or higher??? that might help bypass. my coolant is fine no leakage. What if I jumper the resistor? Or just leave a open circuit?

The tailgate (aka hatchback) on my Gen 1 2014 will close, but it won’t lock in all the way. The computer thinks my hatch is open. As long as it is open, that means passive door locking won’t operate and an error shows on the driver instrument display. I checked and it appears the metal latch loop on the bottom frame of the car is loose. There are two screws on each side that need to be tightened. Problem is I don’t know how to access them. Would prefer to fix this myself without going to a... 2014 tailgate latch is loose, computer thinks tailgate is open ..read more
