I will say that the Leaf is not a bad choice IF you live in a moderate climate.... mine has been nothing short of a joy to own and has caused me no issues at all. Will I buy one when my lease is up?...

I lived in an apartment complex in Jacksonville (formerly known as Country Club Lakes) and just used my rented garage to charge. Only cost me $100 more a month, but it was only L1 charging. Pretty...

I think the "inferred" point here is that Democrats are supposed to be driving the "green energy" revolution. So with that point in mind the intended market would be for Democrats. I leased a Volt...

13382 miles later and my Volt has only been in 1 time (at 2000 miles) for a problem. Even then it was trivial. The car wouldn't charge. Took it in on Friday, and had it back 4 days later. Never had a...

1. Which one is more fun to drive ? The Volt is more fun to drive hands down. Has a more powerful feel (especially in sport mode) and the regen brakes in L are fantastic. Even the Leaf in ECO mode...

Yeah it is certaintly interesting to watch... With the Volt "fires" I did not blink, refused offers to turn the car in, and defended it until it was eventually vindicated. As time goes on watching...

Spreading incomplete information is why people have such bad perceptions of the Volt, just like this with the Fiero. Having 2 Fiero's in my life, and knowing quite a bit about this the story is much...

I had it happen to our car when we were on a trip to Washington D.C... was driving around when my wife asked why the car was so loud, and then I noticed the MIL light was on. Turned down the radio...

I currently have USAA and with the 2012 Leaf and 2012 Volt it is $140 a month with a $500 deductible (collision/comp), 100/300 body injury, and 100,000 property damage. Whenever I get an offer in the...

I don't think there is any room to the "left" of Obama... It does not get much further left than believing people do not create their own success, that the Constitution is old and out dated, and tons...

Yeah.. the way the dash lights are between the Leaf and Volt could probably confuse a Leaf driver. On the Leaf the lights flash when it is charging, and remain illuminated when charging is done....

Currently Active Duty in the Navy stationed in Norfolk, VA.. Both a Volt and a Leaf, and I can concur with your statements/thoughts.

Would certaintly go out on a limb and say that the vast...

Being in the Navy and having both a Leaf and a Volt I have a unique perspective on this... While I will agree with the sentiment that most military personnel are Republican/right leaning (including...

I myself am conservative/libertarian leaning. I came to the electrics for a different reason than most. Plenty seem to believe these cars are better for the environment. I personally do not believe...

Well my original intent was for this not to become political. As I wanted to just try and get to the bottom of what actually happened to the car itself. Seems the consensus thinks the car got burned...

Well that is the thing I am trying to get to the bottom of.. It is not necessarily that I want to stir the pot. Seeing as I have one in the driveway though it peaked my interest. Especially with the...

I was looking through salvage auctions because I was looking for parts to experiment with for an idea I have when I ran across this:...

I'm sitting at 8310EV miles right now, and about 229mpg. I may make it by the time I hit 10000EV miles. Depends on how many trips we take between now and then. I do have my charge point card though,...

Good point Don... Is what I get for spouting off in anger. You are right in that I confused million for trillion (although a balanced budget like I have to do at home would be great!). I am just so...

I will sum it up this way.... They claim the Volt is a $700,000,000 project by GM. That is almost as much as the entire US Defense budget. Elon Musk invest about $150,000,000 (70mill up front, and...
