I wish production of the Volt/Ampera was keeping up with the VINs! Mark Christopher Chevy in Ontario has Volt #DU147242. I doubt that 47,000 Volts have been produced. The VIN's are assigned when the...

Stupid question, but can you change the wheels on a leased vehicle without penalty as long as you change back to OEM wheels when you return the car? Or does it void the warranty? I don't think I like...

These look pretty good on a Volt. I have seen some that seemed a bit over the top, but these fit the Volt to a T. Nice choice! I will be curious to hear whether it impacts on your AER. I would...

Your mouth to God's ear. I wish GM would do just that, but it looks like the ELR is it for the next year or two. It is a pity. GM's engineers have built a great car, but the rest of GM can't be...

I am not sure if I am talking about the same thing, but the median EV % of useage on Voltstats.net is 80% EV, 20% ICE. Another interesting figure is that the median mpg, (not including electricity of...

I used to have a '77 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton pickup. It was perfect for hauling up to 3 motocross bikes and it hauled everything from oil drums to a camper. Great outfit. But it got just 15 mpg, with...

What if the price of gasoline doesn't go up very quickly in the next 5 to 10 years? What if there is a glass ceiling with regard to how much other nations are ABLE to pay for oil, thereby limiting...

I think you are right about things having to change with regards to charging cars vs. filling up with gas. I think McDonalds and Cracker Barrel will be going into business with companies that will be...

I hope Autoweek is off base. GM really needs to get the Volt Gen 2 out next year at the latest. They have been selling the current Volt for 2.5 years. I was hoping that they would start selling the...

Koons Tysons wouldn't come close to that deal when I was trying to get them off their price. If your total cost over the 36 month lease is $11,592 (322 * 36) I think you are getting a good deal. You...

jljeeper, that exploded drawing leaves a bit to be desired, but it works, kind of.
Like you and a lot of the other people on this site, I don't think GM can build a battery for $3000, yet, and...

I was really glad to see that article this morning. Bring the work to the US, and hopefully maintain the great quality the early Volt batteries have enjoyed.

jljeeper, I am pretty sure that that is indeed a picture of the Volt battery from the bottom, you can see the distinctive split in the middle of pack. It is on GM's website for parts and it is...

Marty, here is the link to the parts page for the Volt battery.
...

The price of oil didn't just fall to $80 a barrel, it fell down to $40 a barrel in late 2008/early 2009, which is why the price of gasoline fell so much. Not only did oil prices fall, but the demand...

Sinnombre, I agree with you about it being the perception of the price, not the price itself, but the MSRP is what most buyers see, not the actual price the top Volt selling dealers are actually...

Solar Dave, I am with you on the superiority of the Volt to the Leaf, but I am not sure that it is $10,000 better than the Leaf S. $8k better? Probably so. $6k better than the Leaf S? Definitely. ...

MTN Ranger, you hit the nail on the head. GM needs to be able to advertize the Volt at $29,990 (after tax credit) to combat the perception that the Volt is overly expensive. The top Volt selling...

Not a very good figure, and what is kind of interesting, we didn't do a "Predict how many Volts will sell this month" post. GM has to reduce the price on the Volt or it will simply wither on the vine...

That is a pretty decent deal. I think I will print it out and see if I can get a Chevy dealer on the east coast to match it.
