Update/cross post from another thread
Car also decided it needed to visit service. Friday on my way to work I got the reduced propulsion message about two blocks from my house. I never did the recall I was supposed to do so I scheduled that and took care of it today. I know cars also do weird things when their 12v batteries get old so I took a look and mine was original. I took it to have it tested and it tested good, 12.7v and he said it had about 400 of its 600 CCA still left in it. I bought a new one anyway and put that in Saturday.
So Volt life is still good.

I had a buddy that switched to real time and then switched back because he was getting raped during the day.
I signed up for Volt Stats that Stink Star Linked, Waiting for it to sync up which is twice a day, will report back afterwards.
I also track my home charging which is nearly all of my charging. Per this meter I have put 6357 kwh through my volt in 25 months. The cost is set at 0.11229 in the app which I haven't checked in a while but would guess is still reasonably accurate. The Volt pulls around 10 per charge so that seems about right as that is 635 fill ups at 10 per.
