They do, but they are not going to let me charge a car there for "liability reasons".
Also, I would have to park at the back of the building which is a loading zone for forklifts.
There are some free charging stations around town, but always either broken or ICEd based on reviews.
The Volt still gets decent mileage even if just using gas.
It would pretty much be like driving a Honda Civic sedan of the same year, except I would be able to drive my short trips using electricity.
One huge letdown I just found out about, is that the Volt has no instant trip informstion readouts, like instant usage, or Kwh used per trip and such.
This is a huge disappointment, since that takes a lot of the fun out of driving an EV.
If any of you Volt owners know if this was added in later years, please comment !
