Well, here it is!
I replaced my awesome little Insight Ron Burgundy this weekend with a 2012 Chevy Volt. I felt a little bad leaving the Insight at the dealership, knowing it was headed straight to auction, kinda like if I left an ugly pet at the pound I would know how that was going to end. I had a great time modding and driving the Insight, but it was time to let it go since I needed a 4 door.
I had researched several types of EVs and PHEVs, and the Volt seemed like the best possible replacement since I needed more range than a Leaf could give me, and well, it isn't a Prius.
I'm already loving the Volt, and as I learn the tips and tricks to getting the most out of it I'll post my findings here in case anybody else takes the leap.
