What did you do to your VOLT today/lately?

Here's a picture of the SUN Shade.. It may keep the interior a little cooler.. BUT NOWAY WILL IT EVER BE 44° difference from the outside temperature as stated on the package! I just liked the graphic and some UV protection of the interior!

Today I left my wife take it for the first time . She went to a casino that is a 140 mile round trip so I know it will be a gas burning adventure . I told her ; what ever you do , don't put gas in it because it will take 6 months to get rid of it.

I have had mine for 2 months. Since then I have:

Plasti dipped the front grill and both bow ties
Removed the ugly front license plate holder
Repaired holes with (nearly) color matched plastic buttons
Installed backup camera

I purchased the new Armor All Extreem Protection and applied it to 1/2 the back of my Volt to see how much it actualy reduces the dirt build up back there.

I live on a dirt road and even though I have a silver Volt, the back is still easealy shows all that accumilates back there.

I also was happy to note that currently there is a $10 rebate on that polish.

I also cleaned "Oppy" inside and out, which felt good.

But the lately thing was breaking two personal EV mileage records:

1) EV miles in one day: 132.7 miles, 24.7 kWh (mixed L1 and L2 charging)
2) Longest L1 "Opportunity Charge" trip (over 2 days,not enough time at each stop to ever fully charge): 186.3 miles, 34.9 kWh

Nice thing is these were trips of necessity, not choice...so with a little extra effort to find charging/stop for meals, the Volt fits my lifestyle while still operating as a "pure EV".

I left mine in the garage and rode with a friend. Radical.

Wanted to take the kids to a movie yesterday... so instead of trying to get online with the phone, we asked the car. Some time back I stumbled upon the movie listings, so we tested it, and man... Impressive. The kids were amazed.

" This car is freaking AWESOME!"

Yup. I agree.

Going to go and vaccuum the inside. For those who've plastidipped - do you remove first, or mask and spray? Want to do away with the gold on the bow tie.

I took took my 2013 Volt for a wash for the first time. In the 6 weeks I have this baby, I have pimped her up a little (embedded links):

• Added the missing air filter.
• Added LED light strips in front.
• Installed a fancy Korean dash cam on the front window. I can replay several days of my exiting commute in HD quality, a great way to fall asleep.
• Upgraded the interior with a little wood.
• Installed license plates and applied for a California HOV carpool sticker.
• Obtained an upgraded Nissan Leaf EVSE, for a fast Level-2 charge at work and at home. This quick portable charge allows a 95% electric drive.
• Analyzed and measured the Volts physics and regeneration efficiency (after all, I'm an electrical engineer). I am still a little mystified how it is possible that the Volt is so remarkably efficient.
• Debugged the Volt's infotainment system, compiling a list of bugs).
• Logged my likes and dislikes.
