An endless debate among car owners is if it's cost efficient to own a Hybrid due to charging... GM is putting the debate to rest.
GM and OnStar is about to remove all doubt with an EcoHub app.
Detroit news writes:
General Motors Co.'s OnStar subsidiary is testing an app with Chevrolet Volt owners that can tell them how much it costs to charge the Volt's battery and compare the Volt's energy use to energy used in their home over certain time periods.
The new EcoHub app is being tested by residents living in the Pecan Street Inc. smart-grid research project in Austin, Texas' sustainable Mueller community. The area has the highest residential concentration of Chevy Volt owners. In July, OnStar said there were 55.
OnStar hopes eventually to make the app available to all Chevy Volt owners.
