OK, not in your Volt but you can make it sound like there is one in there. The rumble of the big engine shoud be enough warning for anyone. Check out XL Games app for iPhones called XLR8. When...

I have been driving pure electric for one year (except for 2 miles that my Range Extender brought me home one night). I got a message that it was time to run engine maintenance - when I agreed a...
Leased the 2011 because I was uncertain of how reliable it would be. I purchased the 2012 for cash - I was convinced the Volt was for real.
This morning I plugged into my 220V SPX charger and the car (the 2012) started to charge normally. When I returned to the car about 3 hours later it had stopped charging after only adding 5 miles...
I want to get my building in touch with someone to install a bank of these chargers in our parking garage in Dallas. Does anyone know who to contact to do this? Blink? SPX?
One of my 240V SPX units has the cracked strain relief on the end where the "head" is. This unit is used where there is a 90 degree pull on the cord and it is my newest (10 month old) unit. The...
The 2013 upgrade is here! It costs about $8,000 for a 2011 and $4,000 for a 2012. You get ALL the updgrades and a "0" miles car.
It's called trading in your Volt for a new 2013
Do you have the new 120V charger?
I would check with your Volt advisor - it may be the unit.
I agree with RAYS. The EV movement is charging forward and the politicians can't screw it up. As long as people can vote with their wallets EV's (and PEV's, EREV's, etc) will be the choice for many...
Last fall in Austin, Texas Ford had their electric vehicle road show at a "Green" event. The EV Focus was there but not available to drive. It is a great looking car and much nicer than the Leaf. I...
What a mess. Deal direct with GM, not the dealer. GM can make sure it is done right, even if it is a new vehicle replacement.
Both of mine have been flawless, and the two that friends have bought...
I know I may cut the useful electric range, but considering that I have only used 3/10ths of a gallon of gas since Thanksgiving (in the 2012) I think I can survive the drop. Yesterday I put the...
carzin:
don't feel too bad with the 1680 May deliveries. Next month your projected production should pay off.
1575 US sales (delivered) only
The impact of the shutdown and increased Ampera production will take its toll in May. Hopefully the naysayers won't beat up the Volt too badly.
BTW carzin I like...
Our obsession with Volt Stats has got to stop. If I know I'm going on a trip of more than 35 miles I'll take the 18mpg SUV instead of the Volt. It makes no sense at all -- except for the pride of...
I have two in Texas:
EPOWER
GO EV
My other choices: No Gas, and Volt1 were taken
When running in EV only mode we don't burn any gas and hence don't pay any road use tax. Great for now, but it can't last. What is the best way for EV'ers to pay our fair share of the road building...
Strengths:
Smooth acceleration
Driver control - L mode
Driving gas free
Controls on "iPad" screen
Weaknesses:
Interior room
Lack of power seats
Ok, lets talk BMW vs Volt. I have had 7 BMW's including two M3's and an M5. My most recent "supercar" was a 556 hp CTS-V.
Is the Volt the equal to these cars? No. What car would I rather drive...
I have had the "battery fix" done to the 2011 & 2012 at Wood Chevy in Denton, TX. Each took 2 days and no problems. Both delivered with full tank of gas (The 2012 did't need it) and a full charge. ...
