Great video. All 100% true. I especially agree with the lead-in words: “This is the most advanced vehicle certainly that we have ever had, and I put it to you that it’s probably the most advanced vehicle on the road today.” My Volt (VIN #541) has over 8,000 flawless and nearly gas-free miles. Yes, it is better than my prior BMW!!!

I got over 150 MPG in my Volt last month without compromising my lifestyle. That’s for 1250 miles of combined city and highway commuting. It’s my first American car. This car is very fun to drive and in my opinion handles as well as a BMW 3 (in the same price range). The quiet ride and acceleration in Sport Mode is remarkable! Safety was a big draw for me as it has the highest safety ratings and 8 airbags. The car is very solid, the seats very comfortable. I’d prefer knobs to touch ctrls, but eh

There’s spare electricity from the Power Plant to charge your vehicle. When an Electricity Plant runs it’s Turbines, there are Millions of Volts Created. If we don’t use that electricity it will just go to waste. Therefore pollution is much less owning an electric car than a gasoline car. With a Gasoline car you have to make Gasoline from Crude Oil which requires Drilling. Then there is pollution from the tail pipe. The Volt gets 40 miles on pure Battery-Electric. $1.75 to fully charge.

Sounds like a lot of problems down the road. GM can’t even get a normal car right. I would love to chat with the owner after five years of ownership. GM has some great designs right now, but what is under the cars are still shit over time of ownership. I’m going to pray for first year owners. God be with you guys.

This guy seems to know his stuff about a great car, but I would be able to hear his words better if his ring wasn’t so loud.

YES! FINALLY!someone that finally gets that this is JUST first Gen technology!Every blasts and bashes the Volt on its high price and low electric mileage, but its just the first Generation of this technology, it will only get better with time.Someone had to take the plunge and GM did with this, and thankfully are doing an all electric Spark.As technology increases price will go down, just like what your watching this on, your computer, they were expensive when first invented now everyone has one

Not first gen. Second considering the ev 1, that gm collected back up from their buyers and crushed. No thanks to our wonderful u.s. government. That was a great car in the early 2000’s. Danny DeVito had his taken from him as well.

If this guy loses his ring on his finger, the volt would get 2 more miles per gallon in that hot weather.
