Push the little button that flips out the key. With the key out it is very easy to pry open the battery cover with your thumb.

They should sell a lot of them in Georgia with its $5,000 state tax credit for zero emission cars. The Leaf S will end up costing around 18,000 after sales tax.

Also you may find you can go a lot farther than the range says. I forgot to plug in my Volt last night and it had only 12 miles of range and I have a 16 mile commute. I live in Atlanta and it was...

You wrote "A leaf or a Volt can easily get 30-40 miles charge during the day". The Volt yes, but a Leaf requires a 220 volt charge so the 110 volt station at your wife's location won't work for a...

Yup, I was just trying to make a point that regen is great but it does not create more energy it just captures some of what would have been lost as heat in the brakes. So if there is a choice of...

Just a theoretical question based on physics. If you drive for 10 miles via a route that offers a lot of regen opportunities versus a route that is a steady speed with no braking and the average...

Exactly. Reminds me of the joke I heard recently. "What do you call someone who speaks 3 languages? 'Trilingual'. What do you call someone who speaks 2 languages - 'Bilingual'. What do you call...

Are you saying you have driven a Volt at 101 miles per hour for 24 straight miles? Where on earth is that possible?

After a couple of months mine did the same. GM shipped a new one to the dealership and swapped it out with the failed unit. The new one has worked fine for the past 3 months.

I think it did not come on because of your low speed in the parking garage.

Are these supposed to be links?

I bet it could be "fixed" with a software change. If the radio is "off" and any of the center stack buttons are pressed allow the radio to turn on but programatically apply the mute so it appears to...

Priced not to sell in my opinion. Who would buy it compared to the Volt? It needs to be priced to compete with the Leaf. Even the Leaf has raised its prices 35K and 37K which is too high to...

Very nice. I work at 285 and Northside Drive. I am able to charge for free here at work. It is just 110 however but as my commute is only 15 miles I "fill up" pretty fast.

If you build your search index based on Artist instead of by Song you will get the songs in album-order instead of alphabetized.

Perfectly reasonable. I bet the GM programmers read these suggestions and if it has not already been done it will be in a future software release. I understand they have already changed the radio...

I paid the $500 for the unit and another $75 for an electrician to install the new dedicated breaker and line to the garage. Fortunately the garage wall was only about 20 feet from the panel so it...

"Press and hold one of the preset buttons for more than two seconds. The station frequency appears on the preset button at the bottom of the display." - this was the critical piece I missed while...

I can't find information on how to set a radio station on the favorites list.

I think GM envisioned an "infotainment" system. So the radio and all the other displays are considered part of the same system. Since the consumers don't like it that way GM should change it so the...
