BMW i3? Weak engine and 2.4 gallon tank good luck on a 1,000 mile road trip or hell, even a 300 Mile trip. RAV4 Prime? SUV, good battery, good ground clearance and .. oh yeah, they basically don't exist and cost $50,000; no thanks! Tesla, Mach E, Hyundai Kona, Ioniq, whatever else you find...

I bought a 2017 Volt in early July, put about 700 miles on it making sure to use the ICE, then hit the road on August 11 for what turned out to be a 3858.9-mile trip from Los Angeles CA to Northern California, Idaho, Yellowstone, Casper WY, Alliance NE (for the total solar eclipse), Denver CO...

Well, today we took our first trip in the Volt to our vacation home in the mountains. Our place is at 5000 feet in the Sierras and it's a bit over 200 miles here. All I can say is wow, this thing is even better on a long trip than it has been around town the last couple of months. It had no...

Hi everyone - taking the Volt on a road trip, about 500 miles each way. Should be able to do at least some limited charging when we get to our destination, but obviously not much on the road (might hit a Cracker Barrel though). What's the best strategy for maximizing fuel economy - should I...
