But at over $43,000 MSRP (before GM reduced by $5,000 near the end of the model year), I was not attracted by the high cost of acquisition (almost $600/month). What got my attention were his comments on build quality, the incredibly quiet ride, and the electric vehicle range on some days he got almost all the way home (60 miles) on a charge! That got my attention. As I was debating my alternatives, the executive in charge of my company’s fleet told me that he’d been driving a 2012 VOLT for several months and was incredibly impressed with the vehicle. My 46 mile round trip commute between Alpharetta and Marietta GA was eating up $65.00/week in premium fuel in my 2011 Infiniti M37.
I took my first step into PHEV ownership on Augwhen I took delivery of a new 2013 Chevrolet VOLT (Silver Topaz/Black Premium).
For now, enjoy Jeff’s super extensive piece! (And don’t feel like you have to match this depth or level of detail if you are an EV/PHEV owner but aren’t prepared to write such a thorough post.) If you’re an EV/PHEV owner and feel like writing up your own review of your LEAF, VOLT, Model S, Ford Energi, etc, please reach out in the comments below and I can get that published! It would be great to have a category full of owner reviews. This article is an example of the type of piece our readers love - numbers, charts, comparison with gasmobiles, and more.

Finding out that he was a Volt driver in Atlanta, and interesting city that is doing quite well on the electric vehicle front, I decided to ask him for a review of the vehicle… as I often do when people indicate they own an EV. I recently connected with the author of the piece below.
