Looked at a 2014 Chevy Volt as a 3rd vehicle, so I did not drive the crew cab truck around town and look for big parking place, and wearing out a truck that costs 80 grand to,replace. Car was in Hanford, couple hundred miles from home. Liked the car and color, not white or silver, and bought it. So far very happy. Have plugged it in twice to charge. Takes a long time on 120V. So may put a 240v outlet in and buy a level 2 charger. Have not used the gas motor since purchase. Did Uhaul trailer the car home. Quiet, smooth running. Signed up for the EV electric rate. 11 cents a Kilowatt hour at night, instead of 47 cents. VIP stickers for single person use of the carpool lanes. Thanks neighbors for subsidizing my electric use. So far happy with the car. Your Volt takes the place of my motorcycle. I hate using the truck for 'around town' trips. One of these days I'll get serious about taking the motorcycle to the golf course. Then the truck would just sit until it was time to go camping somewhere. I used to take my Harley skeet shooting. I did get a few looks with the shotgun rack on the front fork. I imagine I would get arrested in the current People's Republic of Maryland. I use my Prelude for errands but I could not justify the expense of an electric conversion for the little I drive. The payback was decades. The cost was not much different than most 2014 decent model cars. And since we have car pool lanes everywhere in the Bay Area and Los Angeles where our kids live, figured the car pool stickers were primo. Or as some call them VIP stickers. |
