The car itself was fine and was definitely quicker than I expected. It did feel oddly top heavy and not overly confident in mountain corners. The part that gets my review is the mpg and range.... I rented this car for a 1000 mile road trip expecting mid 40’s mpg like I had gotten with a Prius on the same trip in 2010... when I picked the car up from enterprise they didn’t have the battery charged so I had to drive to Reno with no battery power so it got 32mpg all the way to Reno. So I figured I’d charge it at a Tesla charging station that you see everywhere but when we found one the plug is different... the next day we went to the dealership to use the “quick charger” which was going to take 5 hrs while we were traveling... so I got 32mpg to my destination. That night at 6pm I plugged the car in with the 110 charger provided with the car, and it took till 11:15 the next morning to finish charging.... figuring it was going to finally get the stated 45-50mpg finally it didn’t, it only got 38mpg.. I put the car in hold mode which is supposed to make the car run like a regular hybrid and not run on just ev mode, and it didn’t even last back to Reno (80 miles) then the car went back to 32mpg. These cars were not built for long distance, don’t buy one if you’re not just sticking in your town and driving 20 miles or so a day because the complete charge took almost 18 hrs to charge from empty and didn’t help our mpg for more than 80 miles... may as well have just let the car run ev mode and not bother using the hold mode because it didn’t help

Disappointed

This car is a piece of junk. I cant emagine how GM claims that it charges for 53 miles but it barely charges 40 (brand new). It should be illegal for them to claim that but I guess they can get away with it. Stay away from this, it’s not worth it.

The Volt is a solid plug-in. It is reliable and the mileage is amazing. It is great to know I have that engine as a reserve for charging the battery. I love my Volt hands down.

I’m very happy with the car so far. It’s got the perfect balance of flare and function. You’ve got your around town miles covered with an all electric power train and for longer journeys the gas generator kicks in. Plus a pre owned Volt is an EV that’s actually affordable. Consider this as a value add. For a few hundred dollars you can add an inverter to your Volt and turn it into an emergency backup generator! I love this car.

Love the car. It looks stylish and classy. I hardly pay for gas, and I got the federal and state tax rebates, and carpool stickers. My one complaint is the lack of space. It's basically a compact 4-seater, and not much leg room.

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.

Finially found the plugin hybred I've wanted.

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.

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.

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.
