I finally got an EV(ish)! I bought a pearl white 2013 Chevy Volt with 97k miles for $10k on Monday. Cloth seats, Bose speakers, and navigation (while better than expected, I'll just use my phone). Goodyear Assurance tires, which aren't LRR. I pumped them up to 50PSI after we got home; they seem to roll ok and have enough traction to keep the electric torque under control.
It came from a fleet in California. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to plug it in much, so it only 14k of the miles were electric. Lifetime MPG is 40.9 and hasn't moved yet.
Here's the results of the drive home. If you remove the terrible mileage that was already on the charge, it works out to about 40MPG while using gas. Not bad for mostly 70-75MPH driving. My wife drove it home and I forgot to have her turn off mountain mode until a few miles before home, so the battery wasn't empty.
Here's the result of a trip I had to make the next day. Again, gas consumption was about 40MPG for freeway driving.
My wife was still slightly opposed to the idea of buying another car as we drove down to the dealer. Unless we do a ton of EV driving, it'll end up costing a little more per mile for energy than the Prius (I'm estimating we'll be about 50/50 gas vs EV miles). The only saving grace for her was preconditioning, as she hates getting in a boiling or freezing car. That was until she drove it. She loved how much smoother it was than the Prius in every way. A condition of us getting it ended up being that she got to drive it home while I drove the Prius. Prius will be sold in the coming months (PM me if you're interested).
I don't really care for dealers, but I like the one we bought the car from.
