I absolutely love my Volt…I was looking for a car that could get me to work and back on all electric power, but still have the ability to do road trips without relying on the battery. The Volt is perfect for my daily 40 mile round trip commute to work. I charge the car at home and have plenty of power to drive to work and back. The Volt is fun to drive and has plenty of power to maneuver the LA freeways. In full Hybrid mode, I'm averaging about 38 to 40 actual miles per gallon, which is good for a lead foot like me. I rarely use gas though, but if I do it's on the weekend or trips out of town. The car keeps track of your gas and EV mileage separate, so it's easy to calculate.

Highest Owner Satisfaction Two Years In.A Row

My current overall milage is 69.8 mpg and climbing. I expect my overall milage will be over 100 mpg after a few more months of driving. With my current commute of 56 miles daily I typically drive 42 miles on a charge, then it switches to gas, seamlessly, for the remaking 14 miles. It's range is well over 300 miles per tank. It currently takes 10 hours to charge the car using the charger that comes with the car. It plugs in to any standard wall outlet. It cost about $1.50 to charge completely. You can buy a 220 volt charger that cuts charging time down to less than 4 hours. I paid $31,900 -$7,500 Fed tax rebate - $1,500 Ca rebate = $22,900 + tax/ license. That is a total steal.

So is it a good value? Yes! It feels solid as a Mercedes and almost as luxurious (no electric seats). It’s fun to drive like a Mazda 3. It costs like a Corolla, after factoring in tax incentives and fuel savings (10 years ownership). The Volt has a unique character and more than skin deep beauty that makes owners proud and car enthusiasts rethink what’s possible.

My son recently bought a new Tesla which prompted me to consider an EV. The Tesla is fantastic, but it's out of my price range and I don't really need the 270 miles of range offered by the Tesla. I researched the current crop of EV's quite extensively and decided the Volt made the most sense for me. I am retired and generally drive less than 30 miles a day. I ended buying a 2014 equipped with just the heated seat option. I didn't want NAV, Camera's, and other high tech options. Been driving for 50 plus years and have gotten really good at using my rear and side mirrors! The Federal Tax Credit, State rebate, and liberal Dealer discount was too good to pass up.

Love this car, but certain components SUCK

Bought a used 2014 in Jan 18'. The car had 43K miles when I purchased. We have put 27k miles on it. My husband used it as his daily driver for a few mos and put most of the miles on it. He hated the car but loved only spending 40$ a month on gas (could charge- stage II charger at work). He is a tall man, said it is the most uncomfortable NON-sports car he's been in. He is in the car industry so I take that with a lot of weight. I am a small woman so it doesn't bug me. We have taken the car on road trips (300 miles) and have driven it for a day while moving out of state (500 miles). It is everything I want! But, in the time owning the car I have had the seal on the oil pan replaced as well as 2 window regulators (both front windows) and have repaired the back hatch latching mechanism myself. I am glad I opted in for the extended warranty!!! It seems the windows on this car are a problem as I was told by A CHEVY SALESMAN! My driver's side window is now making the same noise (AGAIN) that led up to the window dropping (both of the ones I had work done on made this noise as well in the weeks prior, so I am anticipating this window will give out on me again soon.) I got over the large columns that obstruct your view while driving, you just have to look and move your head a bit. I can deal with keeping the car plugged in to warm the interior before I leave. I'd love it if I could convert the windows to ol' crank windows! It is such a basic car, why not? I love my car but this window thing will be the end of this car for me. I am now wary of even buying a newer Volt/Bolt as I have been told this is a problem with these cars. I'd love it if Chevy put the technology into another platform, giving more options.
