I personally did 250 miles in 24 Hours over Memorial Day weekend last year. Several folks have beat this with the best at 279 miles! The details are on Voltstats.net.

The cool thing about the Volt is that you CAN burn gas. Zero Range Anxiety is the BEST! Electric when you want it, Gas when you need it!
Go Volt!

Why is it as a Volt owner, I have a slight smirk at this news?

I have no hesitation using a fee-based charger. I bought my Volt so I could travel EV when I wanted, Gas when I needed. I usually charge at home or at a nearby sponsered charger at Mom's Organic...
As I understand it, the green ball can be used as a regen indicator for regen. When applying the brakes, the best regen efficiency occurs with the ball in the first 1/3 of its range. This requires...
Congratulations on your new Volt!
Yes, you can drive in "L" all the time. There is no transmission shifting or high engine revs to worry about. All it does is provide a higher level of...
I live in Maryland. Pay my way??

Hello Volt90293!
You really can't precondition the battery, but you can give the Volt a prestart and start up the climate control while still plugged in. I usually plug in to my 220 Volt SPX...
I really enjoyed my Fiskar test drive on Plug-in Day. The Karma is a great looking car, with Volt performance. The Karma is out of my price range, but I was looking forward to the Atlantic. I...
Mark is right.... GM Marketing flubbed again in removing these cars. As a Volt owner, I'm looking forward to the 2nd generation. While the ELR may be version 1.5, I'd still like to see it, and...
I use Voltstats as motivation for me to improve my driving. While I have been mired at 71% EV and 134 mpg Lifetime, I see others flying high at 10,000 mpg Lifetime and over 99% EV. Impresssive! I...

I just bought gas last week for the first time in over a year! My daily commute is only 7 miles RT, so it's pretty inefficient for me to do a EMM burn. When I get the pop up notice that the engine...

I believe that this is the Forbes link. Overall, it's not a bad review....I think the author had a...
I purchased my Volt, taking advantage of all the tax credits. I installed a Voltec charger in my garage when the credit was still 50%. Even though my mileage is low, I take care of my cars and they...

Came across this cool article about Jeff Kaffee, the first Chevy Volt owner. ...
I've done it, but was uncomfortable with it. The charger worked just fine.

I have a Volt, but it looks as if I need to go to Bally's and take in their Jubilee show!!

Baltimore County is a great idea! There are chargers up through Cockeysville, many in Towson and in the city. The airport has several in the parking lots. (All presently no cost!) I hope the EV...
