Really could have saved a lot of typing, if you had of gotten to the bottom line first.

The guy who replied to the article said, in part:
"Why would you spend that much on a Volt?"And that's the hypocrisy and absurdity of ecomentalists driving Volts - they'd be "greener" buying a...

I like telling people that as a rule of thumb, I can drive about 40 miles off the battery and that would be about equal to a gallon of gas and every mile that I drive off the battery costs me about a...

This guy is a 'bean counter' with no knowledge of cars......period; too bad they allow him to write an article criticizing anything with four wheels........probably rides to work on his bike (with...

I agree...........rather have my door locked than someone playing a prank with it.
I guess same reason why locking gas caps or gas doors are a good thing.

I think that Chevy is cutting a few...

Yours and mine will now probably be worth modestly more money on the resale market..........sorta like 'one less bird flying the skies'.

Those PG & E rates at top tier are a rip-off............you don't think Enron had anything to do with that, do you ?

They must realize that the European economic conditions are very poor and consumers might be price sensitive at any level of new car.........maybe they should be more patient before making any rash...

My guess is that those Volts you see out the back are probably customer ordered (sold) and awaiting delivery.
If not, you make a good point..............I like that sentence in 'red'...........put...

I think the problem is those purely electric vehicles like the Leaf, Tesla, Focus, etc. that for practicality sake, really do need 240v charge station........extra expense, inconvenient...

I'm assuming that you mean this part:

But the Volt’s maximum performance happens at full charge, and things start to look different at 38 miles or so when the battery nears depletion. The...

Not if they round up to the nearest dollar for 1 minute over............

I don't think Volt owners need to pay for the whole infrastructure at this time........maybe when I get
my Chevy Spark EV,...

Yes, thanks for that info......exactly what I was looking for.

You would think that if you were a guest of Kohl's, they could program the meter to work a little
differently, for their guests. ...

Where in Phoenix are you?

In my opinion, I thought the 'error ratio' was fairly high with about 6 - 8 Model S starting out on the convoy and 1 having serious problems that normally would have resulted in a brick or just...

How about every month and half................that occurred twice last year and ran for about 3 mins each time using .07gals of gas. Lubricating/working the engine is the reason.

OR you could put an electric heater in your garage and time it to come on and go off at certain times; that will raise the temp of the garage and your engine will never come on by itself. ...

Not if we try to educate others on why we purchased a Volt, at this time, rather than the pure EV; this article highlights that reason very clearly...........the fact that I have driven my Volt...

Sorry, didn't see this on the other threads!
