These missions or milestones can be thought as being generic advantages. VOLT has still another mission: caveat emptor of plug-in duties. Failure to comply with said duties results in a dead drive. That is unacceptable for a mass produced EV. On top of that the plug-in station infrastructure doesn't exist. Secondly, whether the ER is sufficiently configured to achieve a 20% or 80% (or whatever) SOC makes absolutely not one drop of oil difference. The premise being what I call "Range Logic".

These feature the latest deals and news updates like, "We're staying in business and hope to serve you". I had received a Pontiac survey a few years ago. Asking about the brand in general and my thoughts on performance and dependability of Pontiac. As far as offering an 8 year warranty on the Volt. If 8 years comes standard with a sticker price under $40k. And with the expected features like GPS and leather seats. Then it looks like a pretty good offer. =D~ No, didn’t receive the Chevrolet survey request. I have received a few email from the local Chevy dealer.

Kinda look similar. As far as the volt goes I like it, More affordable than the converj concept or the other fancied up competition. A $40K volt is not bad when you look at the price of the pontiac G8 fully loaded or say an acura fully loaded. hey, heres a neat experiment I tried for those who want the cruze. take a look at the cruze and take a look at the pontiac G8.
