GM Should Never Have Cancelled the Chevy Volt

I had admired the Chevy Volt from a distance for years, as the world's first plug-in hybrid, which retains the lead in electric range thanks to GM technology. A house fire, set by crazy homeless people, destroyed our home, 2 cars and most of our possessions 2 months ago. This enabled me to buy a 2018 Volt with 23,000 miles on it (from a scamming Toyota dealership I had to argue out of $3,000 in attempted overcharges). The car has met my expectations. It's billed as having 53 miles of E-driving before switching to petrol, but I'm actually getting up to 56. It's silent, luxurious enough for anyone, nicely styled. The only drawback is the radically sloped rear window, which cuts vision to the rear drastically. The car has good cargo capacity, good rear seatroom, and a touchscreen infotainment system that works well. I'm getting to love this thing.

This hybred does all that I expected. It looks sporty. The transition from engine to electric is smooth. There is just a very slight change in sound. It has snappy acceleration if needed. The noise level is very good. Most of my driving is local, so much of it is on electric alone. Yet if I need to take a longer trip, mileage is good and I do not need to worry about finding recharge stations.

2018 Chevrolet Volt Premier 4dr Hatchback (gas/electric plug-in hybrid DD)

I put 143,000 miles on my 2014 Volt and bought a 2018 Volt with less than 14,000 miles on it. Great car. Higher electric range and gas range. The premium interior is much nicer than the 2014 premium. Drives well and has more safety features. It has adaptive cruise and blind spot detection. Very happy with the purchase. Remain happy after 6 months too.

2018 Chevrolet Volt Premier 4dr Hatchback (gas/electric plug-in hybrid DD)

After much research, I recently purchased a low mileage 2018 Volt Premier with every option (Driver Confidence 1 & 2, Nav, & Adaptive Cruise Control). I have put 1100 miles on it and used 4.5 gallons of fuel. My combined Miles/$ of energy used is 20 Miles/$ for fuel and electrical power. At $3.50/gallon for gas this is the equivalent of 70 MPG or double the efficiency of my very frugal 35 MPG overall/50 MPG at 60 MPH 2012 Cruze Eco manual and 3x more efficient than my 24 MPG diesel Yukon. This car feels as solid as a Mercedes, handles and brakes very well with Michelin Defender all season (non-LRR) tires, is very quick off the line (torque is within 10% of my old 5.7l V8 GM van), and is very quiet. The rear hatch compartment is sizable enough for everything I need to carry and a bike fits with the rear seats folded. My 240 volt charger keeps it charged in-between the multiple day trips we use it for. The Bose audio sounds good and the quick responding active braking system has already prevented an accident. The instrumentation and EV information are comprehensive, easy to select, and entertaining. This car is a technical marvel and a bargain at today's prices with a $4,000 rebate. The battery energy is at 13.6 kWh full charge vs. 14.0 kWh when the car was new (6 years ago) so only a very slight loss of capacity and range. Many owners report similar small losses. The car averages around 44 miles on a full battery or around 3.3 miles/kWh in mild temperatures. There are two more years of warranty left on the EV components, including the battery. There are many 2012 Volts with well over 200,000 miles still in use with the old battery chemistries and some enterprising electrical engineer may come up with an Ultium retrofit (3x more kWh/kg than the 2012 battery, 1/10 the cost/kWh) to help Volts go 70 or 80 miles on a charge, save weight, and be less costly than used battery packs. Overall, this is very fun car to drive, a very competent all around automobile, and a car I could take on a cross country trip making <ten minute fuel stops (9 gallon tank) for gasoline while getting near 40 MPG. It's no wonder OEM's are now starting to offer PHEV's (plug-in EV's with gas fueled range extenders) as an interim step while the US charging infrastructure continues to ramp up.

I believe it is better than an 100% EV vehicle for every day commute.

The car handles well, and is a fun drive. Gas mileage and EV range have both exceeded expectations. The cheap plastic interior with plastic pieces that seem prone to break is a constant disappointment. GM had the bones of a real winner here, if they had only put it in more attractive wrapping.
