Well it’s been a year with my Volt and for the first time I found out what it's like to put gas in this electric car.
I drove just 5,000 miles this year but only used 2.4 gal of gas with almost all of my days using no gas at all.
After one year the Volt asks to enter maintenance mode to let the gas engine run to prevent any fuel from getting stale. The Volt lets you decline for only 24 hrs. and then will start the engine and run as a gas car (mostly) till you burn enough gas and refill. It will still run only on electricity at slow speeds and stop at stop signs but the gas gauge always shows and miles are counted as a gas burner.
What a great job GM did on this car.

@ PaulH Recharging at a charging station can be quite convenient. In round numbers, I've found that a 240Volt Charger (Level2) provides about 10 miles of range per hour of charge. A 30 minute shopping trip can give me 5 miles ER. If out for dinner and a movie, I can get a full charge in 3-1/2 Hours, even if the battery is completely discharged. I've found that ordinary 120Volt outlets charge at a rate of 4 miles ER per hour. On the surface, the Volt may seem pricey. But if you have a resonable commute where you can conveniently recharge, your fuel costs are a fraction of what a normal car would cost. You can also enjoy being nearly maintenance free, since there's no oil to change for two years. Over 14 months of ownership, the only maintenance I've had to do was to rotate the tires!! I expect that after five years of ownership, that the costs would even out and after that the Volt would be much less expensive!
Go Volt!!
Go Volt!!

I wonder how long you have to wait at a charging station to for the care to charge up. It seems like this in this extremely busy world where time if very important to most people that even though "What a great job GM did on this car" there are still come kinks that may need to be worked out, like the fact that only very few can afford it.

I've had my Volt for over a year and have 7800 miles on it. I could not be more satisified! I expected a pricey high-tech car, but GM piled on with a great handling, great looking luxury sports car. I still smile when I drive it and people still ask me questions about it, especially when I stop at a charging station. Thanks to all those sponsers who have installed the chargers and provide the juice!!
Go Volt!
Go Volt!
