I know and have talked with several Volt owners in my area of Arkansas and they all praise the design of the Chevy Volt. The problem I have is not with the Chevy volt but with Chevy not promoting/ advertising the Volt. I have contacted Chevy several time over the years by did not get a response. If Chevy produced a production model Silverado Crew cab I would buy one.
I know that Jay Leno has a Chevy Silverado crew cab that has the Volt hybrid system configuration that gets the same mpg. For me (5 ft 10 inch tall, 230 lbs) for short trips the interior is fine but gets a little cramped for longer trips. The 2014 Volt interior is the right size for my wife (5ft 8 inch tall) medium build and she is comfortable and loves the car. Hybrid Powerplant When the gasoline/electric hybrid engine is engaged, the Volt returns an EPA-estimated 43 mpg/city and 42 mpg/highway fuel efficiency, and.
Unlike the Prius, there is no feeling of shifting gears (electric motor drives the front wheels) and no annoying changing between battery and gas power. The volt automatically and smoothly switches from battery power to the gas engine, you (driver) barely notice it, you just drive. On the interstate highways the Volt handles well and easily passes any vehicle, I have had it up to 85 mph.
#2013 CHEVY VOLT RANGE VS 2014 CHEVY VOLT GENERATOR#
It is like the slot cars you played with when a kid, going from stop to full speed by pulling the trigger on the controller. 2014 Chevrolet Volt - GM offers a unique type of transitional EV, as it includes a gas engine acting as a generator to dissolve range anxiety. It can get from 0 to 70 mph in a matter of 8 to 10 seconds. The performance of the Volt is outstanding. With the exception of long commutes, the average person drives less than 40 miles a day. The actual cost of charging the batteries with house electricity, via an 120 V outlet ,is about $0.76 per day for a full charge (batteries totally drained), much less on a partial charge. The plugin battery charge provides 40 miles range that is used up first before the gas engine kicks in. It is a solid, well built car.Īs far as fuel efficiency, for the 30,000 miles we have driven the Volt over the past five years, we have spent a total of $532.11 on fuel cost. We paid $34,000 for it and received $7,500 back on taxes due to the Federal hybrid tax rebate. My wife and I bought this Chevy volt new five years ago.
