It takes a given amount of gas to MM-recharge a fully depleted battery to the MM-maintained level. If you charged your battery using Mountain Mode while driving down the highway and then switched to battery mode and continued down the highway running on MM-recharged battery power, your "gas mileage" would drop.

that’s why so many drivers use Hold Mode when cruising on the freeways, when gas mileage is good, and save the battery for slower speed suburban street stop-and-go driving.

This feature allows the driver to create this larger battery buffer while driving toward the mountains instead of requiring the driver to make a lengthy recharging stop.īattery range is dependent on driving conditions. MM also includes a "feature" that enables the car to self-charge to the MM-maintained level if MM is engaged when the state of charge is below that level. The Volt remains in Electric Mode when MM is selected if the SOC is above the MM-maintained level until the SOC drops to the modified "switch to gas" point. Re: #3: It seems to me that Mountain Mode was developed to allow the Gen 1 Volt to maintain performance under high power demand driving conditions, not to "recharge the battery." MM temporarily increases the "switch to gas" state of charge, establishing a larger buffer of "borrowable battery power" than is normally necessary for everyday range-extending driving conditions. Lord knows Chevy is a not going to send us any software improvements for this vehicle since they gave up on the Volt. has anyone heard about some software hacking /Jail breaking for the Chevy Volt that would allow you to use different charge configurations then is programmed in the vehicle?

So my thought was why didn't Chevy, in Mountain mode, allow you to use the generator to continue to bring the battery up to a full charge on long trips so that you could just run on pure battery for a while and then repeat? And then just runs on generator and holds your battery at 1/4 charge. if you've used up all your battery and then you switch to Mountain mode the generator actually uses some of the power to recharge the battery. Mountain mode which uses up three-quarters of your battery and then turns on the generator. Hold mode which holds your batt'ry at current level and turns on generator.ģ. Normal which basically uses all your battery until it's gone and then turns on the generator.Ģ. When driving the Volt long distances you have three mode choices.ġ.
