Well, this should make for a pretty low operating cost DD! 2012 Chevy Volt Premium w/21k miles on it; found this one up in Chicago and had it transported down. It was the only one for sale in the country with this exact list of colors, options, etc. (diamond white exterior, black leather interior w/silver accents, heated seats, navigation, backup camera, front & rear parking sensors, polished wheels, etc.).

Just don't leave the key on and go to sleep by accident,....... Big GM recall coming on that.

Nice pair though.

Cool pick-up. I am curious to see how you like it considering how much these have dropped in price for a nice used one. I'll have to get out and drive one sometime, would make a great DD if you can make most of your trip without gas!

I actually had it in to the dealership this weekend to have all open recalls and software updates performed. The issue you mentioned has been addressed :)

Nice, hybrid style. The volt's are much better looking than the prius. What kind of distance do these get on a typical charge?

30-40 miles is what I've done so far on a full charge, which takes about 9 hours through a 120V outlet. You can get 240V chargers which do a full charge in 3-4 hours, but overnight in 9 shouldn't be a problem, especially considering worst-case it just has to run on gas a little extra if doesn't get a complete charge.
