Chevrolet VoltAge - New Chevy Volt Owners in CA – here’s how to get your cash and car pool lane sticker

You may have heard – we changed up the 2012 Volt a bit so it can qualify for California’s new green car pool lane sticker. This means solo drivers can motor through traffic on more than 1,400 miles of car pool lanes throughout California – not bad for a tiny green sticker.

There’s more.

These new cars also qualify for a $1,500 state rebate – on top of the $7,500 federal tax credit. This means up to $9,000 off the price of the car!

Getting the sticker is easy – apply online here.

Getting the cash is easier – click this.

IMPORTANT – Only 2012 Volts with the Low Emissions Package qualify for these perks. Very soon this package will be standard on all Volts sold in California (there is no price increase). There is no retrofit available for vehicles that have already been sold.

To keep it simple we’ve put together a quick vid and infographic to guide you along the process of getting your sticker quicker.

With the current lease deals it pays to get a Volt. I have had my Volt now a month, and have used a total of .6 gallons only cause my GFI breaker blew during the charge cycle. I drive 20 miles each way to work and back home for a total of 40 miles and typically have 10 miles left when I get home. I now have a little over 1,000 miles on the Volt.

At 15,000 miles per year and replacing a vehicle that gets 25 miles / gallon you save approximately $200.00 per month. (Calculated using gas prices at $4.00)

I have had my Volt for 15 months, with about 15,000 miles of which about 13, 500 are EV miles. No problems, enjoy the drive and enjoy not having to spend 15 to 20 minutes a week in a gas station.

Got the car Dec 31, 2010. Bought gas when I got home with the car, a couple of hundred mile trip. Bought gas again in March when I had to take another couple of hundred mile trip. Get gas again in October when I had to do the same thing.

Since Oct '11 Ive put three gallon in it and I'm down two gallons.

My round trip commute is about 50 miles. I can charge at work so I have a full charge going and coming. The only time I need to use the gas engine is when I have to do a lot of driving during the day and don't have enough time to get sufficient charging for the trip home. Even then mostly I only need gas for about two or three miles.

Thanks Chevrolet!

Oh, i paid full sicker last year and didn't qualify for the CA rebate, but it was worth every penny!
