ASU engineers to receive torn-down Chevy Volt
16 April 2012
(Odometer: 23,166 miles)
TEMPE, Ariz.–When we tore down a black Chevy Volt in January, we weren't just going to throw it away once we finished with it.
As any engineer knows, "parts is parts," and you can do amazing things with those parts and a little imagination. We thought about where to donate the vehicle, and universities immediately came to mind. Then we found out that the engineering students at Arizona State University here had lost some funding for some really cool projects they'd done over the years.
We decided ASU would be a worthy recipient. We told three members of the ASU Society of Automotive Engineers team about it as we interviewed them in their lab on campus, just to surprise them.
Here are (left to right in the video) Brian Jackson, Wade Gyllenhaal and Harald Schweitzer getting the good news. And below that is the April 14 public announcement in which Avnet VP for supplier management Alex Iuorio and Avnet CEO Rick Hamada talk about about the Drive for Innovation and the donation:

What a good idea. I wonder if GM has thought of this – might be a simple option that would help the saleability of this excellent car.

My small company manufactures a silver based conductive paste that is now being used on very large fuel cells. The product, S-1CT-Silver A*C, is being used at 350C on the output power of the fuel cells. My product has improved the conductivity of the output power connection efficience from 24% to 94% and has been used on more that 600 fuel cell. I would be pleased to provide you (engineering) with several free samples of my product and its MSDS. Please contact me via my email address giving me your address or cell phone 949-246-8046. Thanks, John Ebbinghaus, Sole Proprietor Prohm-tect Lake Forest, CA

Question: Is it possible to remove the range extension engine and still have a fully functioning Volt?
Reason: In our (small) country, typical travel distances are short and the full charge range of 150km is more than enough for a normal day. Removing the range extension engine will make the Volt lighter and add a few more km's.
Issues/Doubts that come to mind: balance of the vehicle, controls that need to be rewired or reprogrammed, …
