  1. Chevy Volt Buying/Selling Tax Credit & Fees
    Hello! I tried searching for this particular combination of issues on the forums, to no avail, but my apologies if I missed it. I'm considering buying a 2014 Volt, but my situation is a little unique in that I will probably only drive it a 1-3 days a week on average and I have no place to plug...
  2. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    Only seems to run on battery power when driving under 20 mph in town…hoping I didn’t buy a volt with a junk battery. I am in iowa, and it has been under 20 degrees the whole time I’ve owned the car. From what I’ve read on here is that ERDTT can cause the the ICE to run periodically, but I’m...
  3. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    So I have not been plugging in my 2013 volt lately, as I have another vehicle under maintenance taking up the garage space. Overnight it dropped to about -18°F and now it seems that the vehicle has no power whatsoever. No power locks, nothing on the dash or center stack, I can't even open the...

    Hello! I bought my Volt a little over a week ago, and I love it to death. It's a slick little car with a ton of fun features and capabilities that makes my ADHD tremble with excitement. I rent a house that I'm hoping to buy soon (this car note should help improve my credit score and reduce my...
  6. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    In November 2016 I got a Kinetic Blue 2016 LTZ with black leather and all the safety options. When I drove it out of the lot it forecast 34 EV. After a few days in warm weather I was up to 58 EV. As it gets colder I've found the EV drops to as low as 48 when I pull out of the garage with a...
  7. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Now that it’s getting really cold down here (45), and into my 2nd Volt Winter, I've got a few observations. The Volt’s electric heat sucks as bad as my condo’s electric heat. (But the Volt gives me an option I can’t get in my condo). I find myself thinking how lucky I am that I own a Plug-in...

    I'd love to get some advice on the best way run my Volt when I travel through the mountains and cold weather to get the most out of it. Should I just keep it in Mountain mode? Hold all the battery power for the up hills and drop it in L on the down hills? Any ideas out there?
  9. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I have been using Torque Pro to monitor my 2012 Volt while driving under different conditions and noticed something interesting this morning. It was 27 degrees and I had the Climate Control set on ECO, and as always it was drawing about 2 kw. As I was driving I saw that as the temperature in the...
  10. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Of course, I don't mean there was no ice, as in frozen water, but my Volt's internal combustion engine never came on this winter due to cold weather! This morning I was watching the forecast on TV before heading off to work, and the local Philadelphia forecaster said that this would be the...
  11. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    well, I always wondered how people in the cold climates were getting many hundreds of miles without gas on the voltstats.net web site. I think I finally figured it out. When I finally started nearing empty after three months of driving my new volt without ever filling it up, I decided to start...
  12. Chevy Volt News, Reviews & Events
    I was just talking to someone who is driving one of the test a plug-in Priuses. He has had it about a week. Apparently he was adivsed that if the temperature was below zero not to charge the battery and if the temp was -20F do not drive the vehicle at all. Why? Is this bad for the battery or...
  13. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    The following statement is on page 8-1 of the Owner's Manual "Do not allow the vehicle to remain in extreme temperatures for long periods without being driven or being plugged in." Can anyone expand on this? When I drive to work, and leave the vehicle parked outside in 5-10 degree weather...
  14. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I had the chance to experience the Volt's engine going on specifically to condition the battery when the outside temperature dropped below 26 F, while the battery was fully charged.

    Because I live in IL I really wanted to know this. I have a garage for overnight but what about when I'm at work. Video: Chevrolet Volt Cold Weather Door Slam Test - NICE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zE1eqpXTyw Video: Chevrolet Volt undergoes Cold Weather Testing in Kapuskasing Canada -...
