Lol, good point. I did test drive a Fusion, there is more leg room but even the Fusion left something to be desired (I'm 6'2")

Joule, that is a great comparison chart. I actually really like the Fusion Energi styling. And as you say it is very feature rich. But for me there's a few clear advantages to the Volt,...

Well $20-$40k is one hell of a premium to pay for power seats and lumbar support to name a few :cool:

I can understand why GM did the ELR. They already had the Voltec power train, why not throw a...

The Outlander PHEV was never planned to hit the US in 2013. The earliest was Jan 2014 according to Mitsu's president. However, that's likely to get pushed back at least a month or two due to 1) the...

WOT thanks for the insight. Based on what you said, since the 2011 Amperas that went to Europe did have hold mode, does that mean they had different hardware than the 2011 Volts sold here in the...

Yes, but look at the picture, 90% of the grill is purely for looks. Like the Volt, most of the Tesla grill is blocked off, no air is flowing through it. There is only a small slit for functional...

If you want a dual voltage (120/240) unit then your choices...

Welcome to the site and congrats on getting your dream car :D

I was a lifetime Ford guy up until my Volt. I've had 5 Mustangs ('83 GT, '88 GT, '92 LX 5.0, '93 Cobra, and currently '98 Cobra). As...

Not sure if the credit will be available for 2013, I'm sure others might know. It was a 30% credit though, not 50% and subject to AMT. I think, assuming the credit is available, that claiming the...

Not to pick on the Czar, since I have tremendous respect for him, but in my experience it is more efficient using the ICE going uphill and then switch back into EV going down. I did controlled...

Yes EVSE Upgrade can be trusted. They've been offering their service for a few years now with many happy customers, mostly Leaf owners but also many Volt owners amongst others. If you really don't...

deekster, it's very interesting to compare the SPX Power Xpress install manual to the Siemens Versicharge. Both units have adjustable amperage settings. However, Siemens has you use the maximum...

I'd be surprised if they did. There have been 0 comments approved since tax day, I don't think Aaron or Adam want to continue the dialogue any further.

volt3939, I can't edit my comments there, nor can I add new ones at this point. I don't think it matters, it wouldn't really change the main point of my post which is that the fuel maintenance is...

Haha, yes according to one of the sites editors, all these numbers are just made up baloney. So David, no not even a picture of your car display is good enough because apparently GM is fudging all...

Thanks ;) I know I'm a little late chiming in on this thread, meant to earlier but it was a busy week.

When I first submitted my comment, it didn't get "approved" for at least 2 days so I figured...

It is new. This was added so that owners could go the the max rating of the EVSE without having to buy an upgraded J1772 cable/connector. The EVSE itself is rated to 30A, but before there was no...

Many commercial EVSEs are 208V, but they will actually charge slightly faster than a 240V station. This is because the Volt charger is limited to 3.3kW, not 13.5A. So the lower voltage actually...

Haha, yes and it will be just like the end of 2012 when we all called up to cancel our memberships until Blink decided to waive the fee for another year. My bet is they'll never charge the $30 fee....
