How is it running now? I love the volt, I had a first generation. It was reliable up until about 120,000 mi and electrical issues made it undrivable, even though it was under warranty dealerships don't know much about these cars. And the Volt technicians are horrible. Fit and finish and paint quality everything was fantastic it looked brand new even almost 10 years old and 140 k. I wish I still had it but it would turn off at freeway speeds

I loved my Volt 2017 LT. Way better then a regular EV, even a tesla. When you run out of electricity you then use gas like a regular car until you can recharge, the importance of that can't be understated. A Tesla can't travel far without charging, if you run out of power it's not like you can go get a can of electricity. The Volt is 60 miles with electricity so 99% of driving its electricity, in the rare case you go over 60 miles then gas kicks in until you recharge. In 30,000 I probably paid $200 in gas. This car is so underrated it's a crime. A lot of torque great tech, high practicality and no gas stations every week.

Doesn't have a CVT transmission, or any transmission. EVs don't have gears usually. It's a single planetary reduction gear from both electric motors (drive motor and generator motor) to the front wheels and can also very rarely be coupled to the engine only when the battery is depleted for better efficiency at higher electric motor RPMs. Also, the batteries are under the center console and rear seats, not the trunk. Finally, the battery is 18.4 kWh, not the motor. The drive motor is 111 KW, the generator motor is 55 KW. BTW - I've seen people get up to 80 miles of electric range, and the tax credits are only available for the first 200,000 electric-only capable vehicles sold by each manufacturer. Just so you know :)

@None175557 жыл бұрын
I know this is a lil old but it came up on autoplay and has the same unfortunate misinformation that a lot of these reviews have. In case someone else stumbles upon it... 1 -- Hold Mode does not "lock out" the battery or any other such thing. It simply runs the gas motor more aggressively to maintain the estimated all-electric miles, when it would run anyway. This allows you to use the gas motor when it's most efficient (like on the highway) and save electric miles for when gas is inefficient (stop & go city driving). Because... 2 -- @16:20 The gas motor does not JUST GENERATE ELECTRICITY. Chevy's been very clear about this from the beginning. At "high speeds" (depends on grading, but typically 35-40mph+), a 2nd clutch will close and connect the gas motor directly to the drive train. At 60mph, in hold/mountain/gas mode, the ICE is the primary driver. At 70mph, they're working in tandem. Moreover, even at low speeds it's not just 'charging the battery' (an absurd claim made in a lot of these videos), but rather the generator powers the electric drive directly. Passing the charge through the battery would absolutely demolish the lifespan of said battery, and would take the MPG from upwards of 45 to a max of 35. First gens have a flux-capacitor inspired look by which you can see the three motors (electric drive, generator, and gas) working. You can see how in 'hold' mode the electric drive will shut off, allowing the ICE to drive the vehicle. At the same time, if via regenerative braking the stored EV miles exceeds the amount you 'held,' the ICE can turn off and the electric drive will come on to maintain speed for a time.

That is nice.
@firefalcoln Жыл бұрын
The comfort package doesn’t give you rear heated seats (only front heated seats and a heated leather steering wheel and a few other leather touch points in the front). You also have to pay extra for the leather seats which aren’t included in the comfort package. I have a base 2016 volt with the comfort pack as the only add on. I bought it used. So I was just happy it wasn’t the base with no add ons. I personally am fine with just the heated seats in the front. It’s more efficient to heat the seats than the air. Especially if it’s just the driver. So if you often drive around when it’s cold, just heating your seat can extend your range over heating the air to stay warm. When it’s hot I typically roll down the front passenger window or press the eco button if I’m trying to preserve the battery.

NOTE you can drive the car in low gear (since there is no transmission) and it is the first stage of the regen braking. The second stage is the paddle on the steering wheel. Also note that A/C, heat, rear defogger, heated seats / steering wheel will cause the battery usage to increase since every thing runs off of the high voltage battery.

I believe it is about every six weeks. When it does run it only lasts a few minutes. You can prevent it by running the engine everyonce in a while while your on your commute. Fuel maintenance mode is about a year. If you only plan to use electric dont keep a full tank of gas because eventually the car will force you to run the engine until you've used it all. Basically just actually use the engine everyonce in a while even if you have battery left. It's good for the engine to run lubricate the engine and circulate all the fluids and clear out the fuel lines so they don't get clogged up.

Hi Redline, I see some of the chevy dealers having great discounts on bolt EV 2019 models. Is it a good idea to purchase these models, especially when GM has already stopped production on these? Also, I would appreciate if you can add a full review on this model. Thanks, PP

Gen 2 Volt will easily go 65+ miles on a charge. Gen 1 Volt I would regularly get 50+ miles per charge.

Christopher Feist It depends upon where and how you drive.
@directorjustin5 жыл бұрын
Over 50 miles on a first generation Volt is a bit of a lofty estimate unless you're running on overinflated tires.

PROPS to Tesla for the Volt, Chevy has admitted the Tesla roadster inspired them to create the volt
@billdefalco93808 жыл бұрын
+JDLARSON11 Tesla is being plagued with multiple serious quality control issues, and it has a sub-par interior for a car in its price range. Their lower priced model not being available until 2018 will blow the doors wide open for the Chevy Bolt to enjoy run-away sales when it hits the showrooms this summer. But make no mistake about it - the exceptional electric drive system of the Volt, with practical gas backup for the quick fill and go is really the best way to go electric until we get batteries with a 400 mile range and fast re-charge, which we won't see for at least another 5 years. In the interim, the moment GM rolls out a vehicle like my incredible Buick Encore with a Volt drive system - I'll be trading right up to it. Are you listening GM?
@jdlarson118 жыл бұрын
+Bill DeFalco what does that have to do with Tesla being the inspiration for the Volt?
@richardalexander57587 жыл бұрын
Yes, all electric vehicles are cool, and a huge improvement over traditional internal combustion. The Volt is just a really good transition until all electric cars become the norm.

What's that awful loud buzzing sound when you had the hood open? I'm surprised you didn't say anything about it. I could barely hear you over it. Thankfully you can't hear that from inside than cabin.
@patrickflohe11935 жыл бұрын
Conscious Robot It's called the engine, and is actually very quiet. The recording seems to change the sound.
@directorjustin5 жыл бұрын
It runs at a minimum of what I believe to be 1000 rpm, which would make it louder than most engines with the hood open.

Toast If you got one that’s been taken good care of with under 100,000 miles it probably would be a decent first car. Repairs can be expensive, so I would have some money saved up in case something were to break.

+Isaiah 360 Most of the Navigator's current platform literally dates back almost a decade and a half to 2003. Ford needs to come out with an ENTIRELY new Expedition and Navigator design before they're considered competent again. The Navigator concept that was recently unveiled shows some promise for the future at least.
