My friend has a Volt. He actually went to Michigan to buy it, because they initially weren’t sold in Indiana.

He loves the car, now realize that he is a “techy” person and really appreciates the complexity.

His daily commute is about 20 miles round trip.

I know for sure that he went at least 5 months without buying gasoline. After a year of ownership he’s more enthusiastic than ever.

Then again his wife buys a new Vette every year so he has that to drive if he wants to do burnouts.

So, he mostly runs in electric drive and recharges at home or work?

I kept asking this question and never get an answer, maybe your friend would tell you. How much does charging his Volt add to his electric bill?

Cool, a report by a regular driver. Does he plug it in every night? Did he buy the quick charge option and has he noticed an increase in his electric bills?
