I knew what I was buying.

Maybe, if you live in Kentucky. Here in Montreal Canada, 59 hydroelectric dams have a combined capacity of 34,118 megawatts provides 50% of Canada's electricity needs. 95.73% of electricity in Montreal & Quebec comes from renewable Hydro electric.

Just playing, sucks to see you go but if you feel that car is better suited for your needs, then you made the right one. If you decide that car isn't working out either and want your Gen5 club card back.......we will have to think about it

Enjoy the new car

Thank you sir NJ!

Enjoy your new ride!

-You can change the amps from 8 amps to 12 amps in order to charge you vehicle faster.
-Sport mode- you can take a 1LE crosswalk to crosswalk, the instant torque is insane.
-I don't know about you, but here the kWh rates change depending on time of day, so you can program your car to begin charging at say 6pm if it is plugged in before then.
-Use mountain mode if you know you're going to climb stuff and engage it like 20 mins before. Or else you car will sound like it is being overworked cause the little motor is trying and trying its best.
-The Bose speakers are pretty nice if you have them

Yes to all of the above. At 220v @ 12 amps, the car charges in about 3.5 hours. Sport mode + Instant Torque is fun fun fun. Power prices vary here too but its based on usage not time of day. Mountain Mode is fantastic. If I am going to be on a long highway, Mountain Mode will charge the battery while I drive to give me some electric cruising once I get back into the city. Though not as efficient, its still handy. Yes I have the Bose system. Sounds good.

It was an easy choice. I test drove the Volt 6 or 7 times since last year. I really, really like it. I hope Chevy starts making more electric cars in the future. Why not an electric Camaro? Man... THAT I would buy in a second... Tell your Engineers to get crackin'!

Me too. Lots of people think its some kind of conspiracy, and or that all scientists are wrong, etc.

I guess I will find out in about a year or so. In the mean time, I just like it because its electric.

Cheers. Thanks for not blasting me.
