#72 of 75 Re: 2007 VUE Greenline-Exchange vehicle? [saabski] by fairfield1 Sep 24, 2007 (3:45 pm)
Replying to: saabski (Sep 11, 2007 6:54 am) If someone has returned a Vue Greenline it is for a good reason. Most likely they had many problems with possibley more to come. I also have a 2007 Vue hybrid but unfortunately I only put around 800 miles mile per month on it and my many troubles didn't start until 1,100 miles -- too late to return it under their program.
#73 of 75 Solar Charging of Vue GreenLine-Opinions??? by chmsomm Nov 24, 2008 (10:47 am)
This is an email I sent to Saturn:   This is a technical question for someone working with Saturn's Hybrid Vehicles.   I currently own a 2007 Saturn Vue GreenLine. Great gas mileage. 26-28 mpg in my 26 mpg roundtrip commute.   There are currently solar chargers available on the retail market (2-5W) that can be plugged in to cigarette lighters to keep automobile batteries charged. Very inexpensive. $20-30. I was thinking of using one of these when my Vue GreenLine is parked to assist in keeping the battery pack fully charged, and therefore fully available for use in the assist mode.   I have used small portable panels to charge 12v car batteries that I use for powering 12v astronomy equipment during the day (for night time use when I am in the field). They work reasonably well. In other words, they actually do help charge a free-standing car battery during a 8-10 hr day.   1. Would one of these panels work with my Vue GreenLine to charge the existing battery pack during the day?   2. Is the Vue GreenLine electical system compatable for this type of charging?   Thanks Replies to this message: hybridvue (Dec 01, 2008 6:25 am)

Replying to: chmsomm (Nov 24, 2008 10:47 am) To Chmsomm:   Check out what Greenroger has done on the other thread "Saturn VUE Green Line - Real World MPG Numbers". Apparently, he has been experimenting with a solar charger with promising results. He might even convince me to give it a try. (At a cost of less than $100 - 2+ mpg increase, with 30,000 miles driven a year and gas at $1.85 per gallon - I would breakeven after a year.)   As far as Saturn answering your question - lots of luck. They still have yet to answer my simple question which was how many 2007 Saturn Hybrid Vues were sold?
