We've seen the news, California is starting the transition away from ICEV's in 13 years. At least in regards to new car sales, but what about power? We've seen what happens when climate change events create unprecedented heat domes resulting in a surge in air conditioning use: requests by power...

As part of the mid-cycle update, the California Division State Architect has released recommended updates to the building code that would require at minimum one EV charger (EVSE) at new nonresidential developments. This would be in addition to the already required EV future spaces. This code...

Does anyone have any recommendations for mechanics/dealers in SF Bay Area for a 2012 Chevy Volt? I've had very bad experiences so far with four different Chevrolet Dealers (they made up up non-existent issues, charged me for in-warranty repairs that required me to involve the consumer...

It's that time again when the California "Clean Vehicle Rebate Project" (CVRP) runs out of money to fund the rebate to Californians who buy EVs. The funds ran out as of 6-29-17. I bought my Volt on 7-2-17. What exquisite timing, eh? There's about $8,000,000 left to fund rebates for low income...

I'm moving to NYC so I have to transfer the lease on my beloved 2017 Chevrolet Volt. Car is in almost-new condition and has low mileage and features leather, Apple CarPlay, and a rear camera. Lease expires in May, 2019 with 36k miles but I've only used about 11k of the miles. Buyer must have...

Anyone work for the state and/or charge at a state building(Either installed L2 or plug their own L1 in)? Since CA is fairly EV friendly, I have been looking to see if there is any guidance/laws allowing free charging on state property using state power. I asked my supervisor if I could plug...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums and wanted to pick your brains. Our neighbor recently turned us onto the Volt. We had a chance to go out with him and his wife to lunch. I enjoyed the ride and asked a bunch of questions. I'm seriously considering getting a Volt after I turn in the lease on...

I hadn't seen these survey results posted here before, so I thought I'd share: https://energycenter.org/clean-vehicle-rebate-project/vehicle-owner-survey/feb-2014-survey The most interesting statistic was the motivation for buying a plug-in, broken down by model. Leaf: Environment Volt...

My wife and I are in the market for a new car and like the Chevy Volt a lot. We have always owned our cars and driven them for many years, but I've been reading that GM has made the lease terms really attractive (at least they did a couple of years ago). The salesman at one Chevy dealership I...

Does anyone know: Can we/dealer order the low emissions package Volt outside of CA/NY? There is always a chance I'd need to move to CA for my job - I'd be upset if I spent money on the car but did not get the HOV lane allowed version. Thanks!

Hello all- As you know, the best prices on Volts seem to be in CA. I believe I could lease a car out in CA and have it shipped elsewhere in the country, correct? What would I need to know about doing such a transaction? 1.) The shipping company would ship it right to your house...

Hi Internet. I want to start calling dealers with my own numbers on a 36 month lease @ 10k miles/year. Rather than have them offer up deals, I'd like to say "here's what I'm offering––can you do it?" I just don't know what I should offer so thought I'd crowdsource it. Looking for Premium Trim...

Not knowing much about Flex Fuel, I didn't realize there were not many FlexFuel stations in southern California...

I'm completely ready to get one of these cars, probably via a lease. I filled out a "contact me" form via edmunds.com and have 6 Arizona dealers (salespeople, managers, etc.) calling and emailing constantly. I gave out both my email and cell phone number and basically asked for and received...

My California state rebate check came today from Ca Center for Sustainable Energy. It took about 30 days to get it from the time I turned in the forms.
