Hi all,
I just leased a 2017 Volt LT. This is my first EV and I'm really enjoying it. Traded in an older ICE car, that helped get my payments pretty low. Its a base Volt, no other options. It's a smooth ride, pretty quick when it's needed.
Still learning about the car.
My commute averages 40 miles so its all EV. Really nice not having to visit a gas station every week.
Using the L1 charger @ 12amps. I usually get a full charge by the next morning, but not always.
I was looking thru the forums and I read about some guys converting the stock L1 EVSE from 120v/8-12amp to 240v/16amp (if I remember correctly. will have to look it up again). Want to give that a try though it might be beyond my abilities.
Have a great holiday everyone. Will try to be checking in regularly..!

Congrats on your new car and welcome to the forum. I think you'll enjoy the car for its nice smooth and quiet ride as well as for it's responsiveness. FYI not going to the gas station never gets old -- it gets more addictive!

Congrats and welcome!

Please post a pic so we can have proof you leased a Volt, compliment your car's good looks, and judge you based on the color you chose. FYI, Kinetic Blue is the best color.

Kinetic Blue is the best color.

And Siren Red is the fastest.

Thanks all, I got a Silver Ice Metallic, the black and chrome trim is a good contrast, I like it.
Red is for sure the fastest, I think Silver will give it a good run though! LOL!
And Blue must be the best, because there are a lot of Blue Volts here.
I'll get a pic up soon.
