Website: http://MrEnergyCzar.com I've spent $105 in "Total" fuel costs the first 10,000 miles in my Chevy Volt. In less than 9 months I've saved $2,000 in fuel versus if I kept my SUV. The surplus solar power from my home powers the Volt about 6,000 miles per year while the charger at work does the rest. With the one pedal driving option, the brakes should last to over 175,000 miles and the first tune-up should come at 300,000 miles since 90% of the driving is in electric mode. The Volt can be your only car because you don't have to worry about range anxiety when driving more than 90 miles like you do with most pure EV's.

Hello,
How many miles are you getting on a single charge before it cuts over to the gasoline engine? Do you notice any difference in extreme heat or cold? I’m not sure where you live, but here in Michigan it can get pretty cold for a few months, I’m wondering if you get at least 30 miles per charge in those kinds of temps.
thanks!
Jeremy
In CT when cold I’ll only get 25 miles using heat on high and not “pre-conditioning” when attached to the grid. Probably 28-30 miles if I pre warm the car before leaving when extremely cold…
