The very best part is the license plate. “9FOFO” is genius.

Yes. I rarely use gas in my Volt, and I only have 40 miles of range! I just plug it in every night and I’m good to go the next day. If I had a big battery, this scenario would only be easier to deal with. It’s rare that I have to charge up during the day.

This reminds me of the 1972 Triumph Spitfire my father-in-law was ready to gift to me. He owned it since new, but it sat on the side of his garage for something like 15 years. Sure, I could’ve gotten it running and maybe turned it into something fun, but why? I could spend the same money on a Miata and have something…

Instant torque with zero gear shifting/delay will have you touting the benefits of EV in no time.

Keep in mind: electric car means zero oil changes. Almost all maintenance drops way off... even brake pads. The only thing that stays the same is tires, really. Plus, the feels of immediate power is SO GREAT.

It’s a great car to drive. The torque is excellent and driving dynamics are on par or better than others in its class. Keep in mind that the Volt (and Bolt) are not designed to be performance cars. I love how smooth, quiet and refined the Volt is. It’s a perfect commuter car, which is why I bought it. Am I ever going…

Just because you haven’t tried it, don’t assume living with an EV is difficult. I’ve made the switch - it’s not hard. Also, just watch - within the next 10 years, home charging stations will be a selling point on the housing market. All it will take is another bump up into the $4/gal range...

It’s going to work out to about $300/mo on a 3-year lease. Dealer gets the credit. When you turn it in, they will re-sell them for about $18k which is exactly how I got my Volt. This is a great situation for everyone. I can tell you right now that my Volt will be replaced with an all-electric vehicle when I sell it. I…

I’m fine with it. This car is the alternative for someone that likes the Model S, but just can’t seem to get on board with having zero backup power. This car is still drop dead gorgeous and I think it will sell in niche numbers just fine. I have a feeling Wanxiang may have the Chinese car market in its sights for this…

How about “Cayote 5.0" badges?

Why anyone would buy something as bad as any of these options is astonishing to me. In other countries, where road taxes and insurance make it un-economical to operate old cars, cheap new cars make sense. But in the US, where road taxes and insurance typically go *down* with age, it’s only a *smarter* idea to drive…

I bought a 2012 Suburban in 2013 with 30k miles. It was a livery car. It's been fantastic and I saved a ton.

The Volt has a 1.4 liter, 84 horsepower gas engine up front to keep that scenario from ever happening. I can go as long as I want without plugging in, as long as I can get to a gas station. The Bolt won’t have this, nor does the Leaf, or any of the Teslas. In the case of the Leaf, range anxiety is a reality for many…

I’m assuming they just mean it will power the basic car. For instance, my Volt while sitting idle in traffic, requires about 500 watts to just “exist”. A roof solar panel could manage this.

Fair enough. It may not be a home run, but I don’t think the Bolt will be DOA as this article suggests. I think they will benefit from the last several years worth of success in the EV market, and I think many more people will take a serious look at these. I’ve impressed many people with my Volt, I can tell you that.…

Those situations are rare. They did a horrible job of marketing Volt Gen 1. People didn't know what it was and salespeople didn't know how to sell them. Charging infrastructure is just fine. Better than Tesla in fact. You just have to get the apps and start figuring it out. If you're in a metropolitan area, you can…

They will sell. People just need to go drive an EV and be converted. It's a far better experience than a boomy 4-banger econobox. I would love to have one.

These will sell just fine. They will only be $30k on paper. Leases will be popular and after 3 years they will be great deals on the used market. Just like my $17k Volt I bought last year.

850 employees and 1700 cars...did I read that right? Wow - no wonder they make no money.

WHY DOES THAT MATTER? She is not completely insane. That is all you need to know in this election.
