Supposedly they limited the battery in order to give costumers a reason to change after a few years but if you know anything about electronic devices by keeping the Lithium battery between 10% and 80% charge which is what the volt does it will keep it alive for way longer than what Chevrolet except it something that the Tesla doesn't do it only keeps the battery to go till 90% if you want to but it does goes below 10% if you allow it to reason why you most change the battery after 120k or 150k miles on a bad shape Tesla

Wow you do drive a lot. Glad you had mostly good luck with your Volt. I'm having good luck too, hope I can make it as many miles.

I'll eventually go full ev once better chargers are in my state but till then this is cheap enough and has the range for my daily commute pure electric. Might need the motor a little once every other week to get my daughter but other then that.

Yes, the first Volts remained closest to the concept car. Unfortunately in 2013 they made some design tweaks that strayed the design a bit.

Paulo Silva Good for you brother in non pollution. How does it feel to be ahead of the pack? Your controller learns. In my situation there is nothing up to a Corvette Z06 that can touch me off the line and up to max speed. The most I lose is a couple of miles and teeny bit of rubber in the short squeals ha ha in total silence. For a little fun, crack your windows up 1/4 open and punch it. The blast of wind that goes through the car up to the speed limit is exhilarating! I also get an average of 300 miles per charge, with 115,000 miles. The only problem I had as a ride-share driver was the high note horn which cost $15 and changed myself. I set a high bar for my cars ( my last car with 400,000 miles was a third generation 1996 Legend Acura 3.2 TL) I still have memory of a Ferrari driver with open mouth side by side at speed with my “White Lightning “ Bolt. Enjoy what I consider the real ultimate driving machine.

Erick I have a 2013 and I have noticed the same thing, no matter how many miles these cars have on them they all drive the same. I let friends drive mine and so far 6 of them are Volt owners now. And I,m not sure what GM has done about keeping them from rusting out, but I have never seen a Volt with any rust on it. A tip for you, just drive in Low all the time, and do 1 pedal driving.

Erick, Glad you are now closer to work. I have a 2013 Volt and love the ride. Hard to explain how it rides like a full size car. I think it is because of the weight of the battery it feels a lot more like a full size car.

So true but We'll Engineered! If you don't wreck it like I did it's a Wonderful vehicle 🙂!!

I just bought a 2012 Volt with 37k miles on it. I had an Infiniti that got about 22 mpg and my 2nd day of owning my Volt I got 61 mpg on a 89 mile round trip (home to work and back) only having a full charge when I started my trip! 45 miles on electric and 44 miles on gas. The first 44 miles of the trip I had 90 mpg when I arrived.

Just when through a $1200 repair the main output bearing of the secondary engine driven motor generator the bearing race keeper was made of plastic, the replacement part race keeper was made as it should have been of brass. This occurred at 146K miles I did have the gear box oil changed at 100K miles in hopes to avoid such issues to no avail LOL. The dealer said see you back in a few months Dang for Sure Hope NOT Ouch

I fully agree with Erick... The best electric car option ever probably. The full electric motor propulsion vehicle with an on-board electricity generator which works impeccable in tandem with gas stations unlike tesla style EVs which have to relay on on-board battery option 100 % all the time. All battery only powered EVs have retarded issues such as charger availability & charging time, phantom power loss, overheating & cell degradation with fast charging, etc... Why not using the best of the both worlds; "excellence of full EV driving with a handsome on-board generator"

My 2013 at 40k miles had a tie rod end go bad. Made a clicking noise when engaging the drive in front right. I also had a situation where the car would not allow my 240 v charger (level 2 or 3?) turn on. I could use the 120v oem charger if I told it to go to the higher charge rate... odd. But they said it was the charger port? Then after replacing port it still messed up and they said its a software fix. It works now.

Instead of putting on run flat tires I would recommend Michelin Defender tires. Made a huge improvement in my Volt's handling and they are a high mileage tire. Also added a spare tire which sits in the back. Why are you shifting into low many times a day. Just put it in low and leave it there. Mine is a '14 model and leaving it in low works fine. Got that tip from my Chevy salesman.

@condokingus

6 жыл бұрын

Same for me..., leave it in low unless you're on the freeway. Better battery mileage. I love my 2013

Which charger do you use? Do you know about the aftermarket 240v charger?

Did it require brakes/rotors changes?

Have you changed the spark plugs on the generator ??? Have you done anything with the electric motor ???

Great video, can you please please the year of your Volt in the description? Thanks

How are your brakes doing? Have you replaced those yet?

I am amazed that you still get 10.4 kwh out of yours. My 2012 has 75k miles and I'm down to 8 (sometimes down to 7.3) and the worst part is this is my second battery. My 1st battery got replaced at about 30k. I doubt the 2nd battery will drop below the 30% warranty threshold before the warranty is out, but I still like the car and will be getting one of those upgraded, rebuilt batteries when I get to about 20 miles per charge.

Hope you get a job that is even closer. My job, before I retired was only about 5 miles away. I can't imagine driving as much as you. We bought a 2017 Volt on March 13, 2020. Due to being retired and the pandemic, we've only driven it 1,000 miles. I filled the gas tank when I bought it, and now it is running in gas maintenance mode because the fuel is too old. Haven't put gas in it for a year. It has about 34,000 miles. Good to know it will probably last us a very long time. My only concern is I would like to take it to the dessert and mountains for the day but I'm concerned about getting a flat. I do have a $3 a month Consumer Cellular flat repair service.

@@TubedJack Gen 1 Volts were very Over engineered and since I had two of them, I noticed that my wife's volt was displaying some of the same problems my high mileage volt "Ol Sparkie" was having after she turned 6 years old. Most of these problems seem time related not mileage related. My total problem was my dealership's inability to have the knowledge to repair the vehicle. 90% of all my Repairs I had to reach out to Sylvain Belanger in Canada to instruct me on what the problem was and then take the parts to the dealership and have them replace it. He was Always Right! He has the car Now. And it still drives and charges!

1 set front and rear at 422,000. 70% pad left. Only changed because rotors were very rusty.

Erick Belmer Ha ha ha love it!!!!

I got a 2013 with 54K miles. It now has 58K miles. However, it has 45K miles on the electric motor and only 13K on the gasoline engine. I'm wondering what all maintenance I should do at this point or upcoming. I don't trust the dealerships. Any advice?

Just follow the manual. Really shouldn't need much of anything till 150,000 miles. FYI,,the electric motor is always being used. If you start getting a low propulsion alert under hard acceleration you're screwed because that's what happens when the battery is about worn-out. Battery care about time not milage. Good luck.!
