And I free charge at Work daily so no fucks given

i was definitely wrong, i read that on a site that seems to be hating on volts.

so at 13-16 kwh to recharge which im reading now.

it makes much more sense.

A few of us on here have volts and love them. For the used price you cannot beat it.

Neither guy is here today otherwise I would snap some pics of the shit they build. This pile was twice the size, he went out to Minnesota to pick it up fue to cost.

The Volt has a 18.4 KWH battery.

Assuming a 80% charging efficiency it would take 23 KWH to charge it completely.

The cost depends on the rate you pay for electricity. I pay about 20 cents per KWH, I think the national range is about 10 to 20 cents per KWH.

So your Volt would take $2.30 to $4.60 to charge completely.

That’s alleged to take you 53 miles.

this is where i read it.

[Yaj Yak]

so the 2017 + has 18.4 battery...

and then 18.4/80% = 23kwh.

but the new volts also go ~55 miles on a charge from what i understand

[Yaj Yak]

i guess to me, volt's were much more efficient in my mind than what they really are.

[Yaj Yak]

omg awesome

That is in reference to the brand new volt, which has an 18.4 battery pack.... however along with that GMs range numbers increase to 53 miles on electric only. Their numbers are normally pretty conservative too

@Stink Star Productions is as well i think. hes put pictures up of him working on them.

[Stink Star Productions]

I’m volt certified.

Also owned a ‘15 for 3 years and it was honestly the best car I’ve ever owned from a practicality and reliability standpoint. Many a trip with furniture and lumber were taken and trips to Iowa and still my lifetime mileage over 3 years was 255+. And before anybody bitches about electricity cost, I can say without a shadow of s doubt now that we don’t see any negligible difference in our electricity costs now that I don’t have the car any more. I think a rough estimate was about 1.5 cents per mile for electricity
