    Hi guys! I'm a brand new Volt/ Hybrid/ EV owner here. I used to drive an SUV. I just bought a used 2018 Chevy Volt LT, and online the stats are 53Mi- Energy Only/ 420 miles total. But when I fill up the gas tank, it only gives me a range of 220 miles of gas, and 53 miles battery. These are the...
  2. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    Couple days ago I just bought a used 2018 volt with about 42000 miles. I activated OnStar and connected it to myChevrolet app, and I learned that the former owner has only ran 4000 miles on ICE. The EV range lives up to expectation of 53 miles, but the MPG is only 35-37 when running on free...
  3. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    Hi all, On a recent (and common) road trip for me, my 2018 Volt had dramatically reduced gas mileage (i.e. when using gas). I've taken this trip countless times in both my current Gen2 and my previous Gen1. The Gen2 usually had close to 40 mpg on this trip (gas only mpg), but this time it...
  4. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    I was charging my car at a level 2 charger and when i was ready to leave I unpluged the charger and started up my car. I went to the enegy usage screen because i didn't think it was completely recharged and i noticed the Mpg and MPGe stats disappeared from the Energy Usage Screen on my 2016...

    Hi, I am based in the UK where we have 218 remaining Volts on the road (and a few more Opel Amperas). I got mine at a insurance auction after it was hit in the rear. Nothing a body jack and a hot air gun couldnt fix. I love it. I get 40+ miles on a charge - even seen 53 once. I have been...

    There seems to be a fair amount of variance on gas mpg- thought this might be interesting.

    Hi All, Not sure if someone out there has wondered, why (at least the 2012) the Volt does not have an instant MPG display. I owned a Nissan Leaf previously and before that a Prius and those had instant MPG readout (Miles per KWh on the Leaf) the Volt seems to not have this, I know I can get the...

    his questions probably came up already, but I can't find the answer to it. I can't understand why my 2014 chevy volt can't get much higher than 40MPG on gas on highway. I would think that it should be easy to set (hack) the car so that the gas engine could slow down the decrease of the battery...

  9. Buying, Leasing and Selling - Cadillac ELR
    Hoping somebody here can help me find this information. In order for the Washington, DC tax folks to determine whether the Cadillac ELR qualifies for a hybrid car excise tax exemption, they need documentation that it gets 40MPG or better in the city. I believe this is to avoid giving perks to...

  10. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Current Situation: I currently own a 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid and I have gotten a lot of miles on it (135,000 and climbing) and my battery capacity is at 70% on the original battery. But I still get around 43mpg in city and when going on the highway without to much wind I get around 38mpg...

    I bought a CPO 2013 Volt, I have been running on strictly gas and havent been able to get over 30mpg city and over 35 on hwy. I purchased this one 1 week ago and I am very dissatisfied. Can anyone chime in on this? My 2012 volt used to get 37 easy and over 40 on the hwy

  12. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    I got my 2016 Volt last Friday. So far I've only run out one full charge and got 71 miles with a 3 mile estimate showing. Of course, my home is 1250' higher in elevation than my final destination. I started with 50 or 51 miles showing on estimated electric range on my first full charge at...
  13. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I'm thinking of getting either a 2015 or 2016 Volt. Most of driving distance is trips of about 100 miles. I live on a pretty high hill for the area (n. central Mass, 1300' elevation). Most of my trips will begin with a 6 mile steady down hill with a 1000' elevation drop with a few short mild...

    For some, the Chevy Volt has been a slippery fish to define with regards to whether it will really save them in energy costs. Does it get just 37 mpg like the window sticker says? Does it return an astronomical, if not confusing and questionable "98 MPGe" like a pure electric car? While critics...
  15. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I will be taking the Volt on a 500+ mile tour shortly. I am thinking some owners out there have already figured this out and can give me a heads up on best speed. If you are driving on a long trip and after the initial charge running completely on ICE with mostly interstate (55-65 mph) speeds ...
  16. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I am thinking of buying a used Volt that used to be a company fleet vehicle. I am concerned with the fact that the lifetime mileage shows 33 which means it was mainly run only on Gas. It is a 2012 model. Can this kind of thing cause any issues to the battery long term. I just am concerned it did...

    So yesterday I picked up my new 2014 Volt! I wasn't to happy that the dealership didn't give me a full charge was only at 30miles plus they didn't give me a full tank of gas it was only at 90% filled when I got home :( On the flip side when I made it home I still had 17 miles of electric left...
  18. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Its been 1 year and the data is in, 13,232 total miles. 11,646 are EV miles. That will calculate to 283 MPG (47 gallons of gas) Best miles per tank = 3993.94 Best EV miles in 1 day = 90.28 Best miles without any gas =1202.9 I've consumed 3,300kWh of power @ 7 cents/kWh = $231 47 gallons of gas...
  19. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    We just bought a brand new 2014 Volt and I'm having issues with the MPG we are getting. We have yet to have our home charge installed (it is on its way) so I'm running on gas only these days. I've only been through one tank of gas, and yes, it is cold outside, but I'm getting awful gas mileage...
