The Chevrolet Volt launched towards the end of 2010. Since then, Volt owners have drive over 500,000,000 miles entirely on electricity. That isn’t just a lot. That’s groundbreaking and a look into the reliable future that electric cars can offer. While the EPA said that the Volt can go for 35 miles per charge solely on electricity, it’s getting a little bit more with 15 percent of owners getting as much as 40, and 63 percent of all driving done in EV mode.
One thing that is  very impressive thus far is that the range is still as good as it was at launch. As you may notice with your cell phone, batteries hold less and less energy with each charge, but GM has managed to circumvent that problem thus far. Not only is the sustainability impressive, but the everyday numbers are as well. The Volt has averaged 98 MPGe since the launch. Lastly, when it comes to conquest, the number one vehicle people trade in to attain a Volt is the Toyota Prius.

The average Volt owner gets over 40 miles of EV range and some have passed 50 miles on one charge. The Chevy Volt is one of the very few vehicles that can consistently pass all EPA ratings in everyday driving. It is like buying a dozen of cookies and getting fourteen for the same price!

Hey GM, where are the TV ads tauting this great acheivement. Volt could be selling better and better every month but GM does not advertise it. Why?
Here’s the kicker…I live on hill and when I go to the store for groceries I start out at 45 miles of EV available and due to the regenerative wheels my range is 47 by the time I’m at the store. I drive home and I’m back on 45! It’s like driving for free!
