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.

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.

So far, I am very happy with my 2015 Volt. The Chevy dealer gave me a great deal - $3,700 off MSRP; add (or subtract!) the savings from the $7,500 federal tax credit, $2,500 grant from Texas, and my $2,100 in GM Card points and my final price is actually about $10,000 below MSRP. The car is loaded with every technological feature you can dream of including the Onstar phone app that lets you lock/unlock and start your car from anywhere. Also gives you complete charging and energy usage stats and a navigation feature to tell you where your car is! And did I mention it drives great? Put it in Sport Mode and you will be surprised at the quickness. Also handles very well and looks great!
Watch out for big A/C bills and automatic Voltec

Volt uses passenger cabin air conditioning system to cool battery pack. If car air conditioning has a leak (Mine had an evaporator leak) the car will not allow you to use the car in any mode until the air conditioning is repaired. You are stuck on the side of the road! $2,000.00 A/C repair in the middle of the winter to get the car to run again!

I took it in for the battery software update. Ever since it consistently gets less miles per charge. Gets around 42 now vs 48 before. Otherwise no problems. Still love the car. With teslas going up 6000 it’s easy to just think about replacing the battery vs buying a new car. It’s winter here in Minnesota. Had the first day the engine turned on because we had not driven on the ice for 30 days. Luckily it was also below 15 degrees and the computer required the engine to run because of the temperature. Knock on wood still no problems. I haven’t taken it in for the battery software update for fear they will screw something up. Before it got cold we were consistently getting 48 miles per charge which is very good for a 7 year old battery. Also have not yet replaced the 12 volt battery yet. I have checked the voltage and it’s still in the green range. Hoping that the new congress will redo the ev credit with gm and Tesla. If they don’t I will keep the volt. We are back to summer in Minnesota and just got the most miles per charge ever 53 miles! Yesterday started out with an estimated 51 miles. No maintenance issues except I just received a recall notice for a software upgrade re the battery. I was disappointed that they quit making the volt but look forward to keeping ours another year before we get a new electric. Would prefer a plug in/gas with about 70 miles range but will likely make the leap to all battery with 250 miles range. In winter that is likely only 150 miles. We have now had our Volt for three years. We have loved it. It now has over 250 liftime mpg. We mostly use it with electric so the ICE engine has not been used much. For awhile I was very intent to increase the lifetime MPG to over 250. I did not like the car to use the ICE and noted it below in my early review. Now that I have reached my 250 mpg goal, I don't care if the engine runs. The car actually heats up much faster in the winter vs a normal car because you are getting not only the heat from the engine, but 6-7 KW of electric power. I have the rear camera option and in the winter the camera picks up alot of blur from road moisture because of where its positioned. My Honda Odyssey rarely has the same problem. I definately want to get another Volt. I like most of the enhancements for the second generation but wish that they would have kept the extra back window. I have had our 2014 Volt for just about a month. Its been very impressive. My only disappointment is that in very cold weather, below 15 degrees, the gas engine is programmed to come on instead of just using the battery all the time. As I have gotten to know more about the car, it continues to amaze me with all of its technological features, from the remote start from your smartphone, to the car turning the seat heaters on when you sit down, and automatically reducing the seat heater temp when they warm up. I like being able to drive an electric car, with no range worries that is sharp looking and truly fun to drive.
