Well, I have a different set of circumstances. I have a cranky wife and child in the car. I know it will cost me more money in gasoline to get there faster, but it is worth the extra money to...

We drove our Volt from Dallas to Houston and back a few weeks ago. I drove 80+ mph for much of the journey. I was just keeping up with traffic in the left hand lane. We managed very respectable...

I think Toyota should make a bold move. I've said it on a few other forums, so here goes.

They should eliminate all of their traditional hybrids and make ALL of their hybrids into PHEV. So if...

Ummm. Tricky question, especially when the charge is free. I did park at Kohls the other day and walk next door to Home Depot. I was driving the Leaf and I was on the other side of the metro area...

I wonder if it is possible they did plug it in, but the EVSE was inoperative and they just didn't realize it?

I dislike signs like this. For many reasons:

They are ambigious. What constitutes a fuel efficient vehicle? One guy might say his Cruze is fuel efficient. But another guy might say his Tahoe...

It would make more business sense to swap the entire car.

I would have loved to see what it looked like after they were done. I laughed watching that video!

Tesla has been gaining more and more legitimacy as a "real" company over the last few weeks. And being entirely privately funded will add even more to that.

I would say it is worth it if:


If you can't make your round-trip without the charge.
The plug is in a convenient location and you don't have to fight for that location.
You have a separate...

Money well spend it if brings affordable EV's to the USA.

Too bad we had to take a Volt off the roads. Maybe somebody will repair it. Often these cars that are "totaled" still wind up getting repaired with a salvage title.

Has anyone tried to paint that? Being its plastic, I don't think it would hold paint. But I was thinking the other day how cool our Summit White Volt would look if I painted the bottom trim, the...

Anytime I see a car with black wheels I immediately think it looks like a car with steel wheels that has had the hubcaps stolen.

My feelings on the Mitsubishi i-Miev. First of all, the name sucks. Its hard to type and hard to pronounce. Everyone I run into pronounces it different. The car is ugly. I've yet to find a...

Oh man.. I did this the other day. I repainted a stock gray volt so that it was a sky-blue, the color I'd prefer to have. Then I did the wheels white. I thought it looked really great! I didn't...

Well, I certainly hope that future versions of the Volt have either a fast charge port or at least a 6.6Kw charger onboard. HOWEVER - I only want them to do this if it is an option for the car so...

I definitely agree that Tesla is the Halo car for the plug-in world. I also am willing to bet that discussion over Tesla Motors has taken place regularly in the board rooms of GM, Ford, and the...

Well, on the bright side, the damage doesn't look all that bad. It could certainly be worse. I bet that a lot of the cost of that $9,000 quote was just to replace the airbags. I have a feeling...

I still haven't figured out why Tesla is using 18650 cells and none of the rest of the manufacturers are. There must be some reason. I know I'd feel better about our Volt and Leaf if they used...
