Frankly for me car is transportation. Got rid of my car 15 years ago. Like my Uber driver. We still have one car that mostly my wife drives though I do some. Love that car.. it is a volt. Love not going to the gas station much. Love the acceleration. Quiet too.
Oh yeah the volt is a genuinely great car, wildly ahead of its time, always loved the styling too, futuristic without trying far too hard. Still looks fairly modern and fresh.
The other thing about volt, I thought it might be a bit rough and techie but it is not. Just like any other car. People also ask is it a pain to always plug it in. I find no. I have garage though and easy to just get out and plugin. No drama. Much better and way cheaper then gas and less smell and residue too. Just no comparison.
Yeah, there's also a smattering of free to use level 2 chargers at destinations all around here in Connecticut at least. you could easily keep it topped up that way, and that's very worthwhile since home electrical service clocks in at over 25c/kwh here which is bananas. (and we use all our solar already)
