Talk:BAS hybrid

BAS is still in production
I added updated information as to the current status of the BAS system, including notes that GM has relegated it to "fleet only" for 2010 (since Saturn is gone I also made the wiki more system generic) and that a new generation version of BAS is in development at GM WopOnTour (talk) 19:56, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

I thought that the Buick LaCrosse was using the BAS system in the 2012 models (as of Aug., 2011). At any rate, I'd surely like to see a photograph of the installation, the belts, and battery(ies). Since this E boost system operates on 36 volts, some discussion would be helpful, since all other components of the Buick electrical system remain on the conventional 12 volt system.

 * the 2012 eAssist used the the Lacrosse and Regal (ans soon the Malibu) actually operates at 115V WopOnTour (talk) 05:11, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Neutrality Issue
So, wow, this is basically an advertisement for eAssist; the article reads like an ad, the sources are really not scholarly - not worthless as sources, but most assuredly not academic, and almost all the input has been from one author, who, no doubt, has positive intent, but perhaps should find better sources, and consider wording the article in a more encyclopedic format.

But if nothing is done, or, I don't know, at least diligently attempted, and if no one objects, I'll put up a neutrality tag. --Snideology (talk) 04:47, 12 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Please explain yourself. Since this system is currently only being produced by one manufacturer, most all references are articles on GM products that utilize the technology. This article appears to: a) introduce the system in the lede b)explain BAS basic operation c) list its primary components, and d) lists the percieved benefits of the system e) lists the vehicles in which are equipped with the system. What is it exactly that you feel is neccessary in order to balance the article's neutrality? Please feel free to edit it in a fashion in which you think is more encyclopedic and neutral, but spare us the threats of tags without merit.Either contribute to help the article or leave it be.

 * As far as I know, several other supplier use this kind of system. I tinking about the STT2 system from PSA. (in serial in C3 in 2004). I have seen a communication on KIA for this system as well [Yann]

Agreeing with WopOnTour--we are clearly in a transitional time relating to the means of powering our transportation and it is highly appropriate to cover non-production inventions (especially in their later stages of development) and certainly production vehicles, even when used by a single manufacturer.

Name/title switch?
Currently thinking of switching the title of this page to eAssist. I have already set up a redirect for eAssist to this older page, but the term "BAS hybrid" is bassically a "lost" term. WopOnTour (talk) 06:25, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
