The radio takes a little getting used to, but by the morning I had it. Air conditioning works well, but someone had the damn seat heaters on yesterday - it was 87 degrees out, and I almost burst into flames. The interior materials are nice, better than many other GM cars, and gaps seem tight all around.
2015 CHEVROLET VOLT WINDOWS
You really have to roll the windows up and turn the radio down to appreciate it. It may have lost a mile or two overnight, but I plugged it in this morning at our work charger. It had 38 miles of range when I got in, about 23 when I got out, which matches my commute perfectly.
I didn’t run the battery down too much, in fact it was more than enough to get me home and back without charging. Pickup is quick with the electric power, and I didn’t even have any problems passing on the expressway at 75-80 mph. I only drove it home and back overnight, but that was enough time to remind me of how good this car is. The look doesn’t do much for me I think the second generation looks way better, but for all of your green needs, this is the car. ROAD TEST EDITOR JAKE LINGEMAN: Yup, this is probably the best plug-in hybrid on the market. It'll be interesting to see how the next model fares. Thanks to its relatively quick charge time, lack of any range anxiety, and just general, overall pleasantness, the Volt remains one of my top picks for green-leaning friends, especially if GM begins to offer some deep discounts on remaining first-gen Volts. The juice lasted until midday Sunday - a total of about 38 miles of electric driving - and I barely noticed when the range extender kicked in it's very well isolated.
2015 CHEVROLET VOLT FULL
I drove the Volt home with a full charge on a Friday afternoon and tooled around all weekend without plugging it in, purposefully running it down so I could experience the car with and without the gasoline engine contributing.
It's a comfortable, solid-feeling compact with great road manners and none of the flimsy fragility found in cars like the Prius and iMiev. DIGITAL EDITOR ANDREW STOY: What I've always appreciated about the Chevy Volt is that beneath the entire complex range-extended EV powertrain technology, there's a fundamentally good small car.
