Don’t know what you’re driving, but I’ve had a Volt for a daily driver for over five years, and I frickin’ love it. It’s a joy to drive. Long charge times are not a factor for me... but I must say, saving 2/3 on my fuel expenses is kind of nice. I don’t care if charging takes a couple of hours. My car sits around doing nothing at least 20 hours a day, anyway.

Plus, if I have to go someplace a couple hundred miles away, or when I’m not charged up, I still have range extender, so no limits on that front. Nevertheless, I’ve found that about 91% of my driving for the past 5.5 years has been electrically powered. That’s money that I have NOT sent to OPEC. Hopefully that’s meant a Jihadi somewhere had to go without an IED or two.

I’m driving a Nissan Leaf currently. Been driving it for 4 years now. Love it!

Chevy is coming out with the Bolt soon, which will be all electric. I’m curious about that one, but I really want a Tesla.

I’ve got a spreadsheet that shows my cost savings with gas vs. electric including car payment, insurance, charge-time etc. I’m actually saving close to $220 a month on gas just by charging instead.

Great to hear that you love your Volt!
