I'll be honest, I have never really considered a Volt, I'm a 4wd pickup type of guy, but a local dealer is advertising a 36 month lease for about $100 per month with 1999 down. HELLO! I have 2900 GM card points/dollars, so I might be able to get the lease down to 65ish a month. Can hardly afford not to.
My daughter is in College about 350 miles away. The trip home would be from upstate NY to NH, so winter driving and cold weather battery use is a concern. Do the batteries loose significant performance in winter? does the heater work well, and does it effect battery performance?
Also, I don't know what access the student parking lots have to a power outlet, or the security if she left the car charging. (i.e. people stealing the charger).
If she does not have easy access to an outlet, can the car be used regularly with a depleted battery? does the battery charge when in gas mode?.
Also, at times she may not use it for weeks. How long can the car sit without being plugged in? In NY winters?
Is there a trickle charge solar accessory?
Any help with these questions would be appreciated.
