He does most of his recharges at work. They have a couple charging stations, likely added with “stimulus money” LOL.

I’m sure if you look over here:
http://gm-volt.com/forum/
You’ll find plenty of info.

To me there’s no $$ savings in the Volt, because the capital cost is so high. You buy it because you enjoy the technology (like my friend), or you’re worried about a fuel shortage (like 1973-74) and must have mobility over relatively short distances.

I quite agree. Whatever money you save in fuel (if any) is consumed in a combination of the high price of the vehicle and the additional electricity cost in the electric bill. As short as my commute is, I am more likely to ride a bike of buy a used moped/motorscooter if we have another 1970s-style fuel shortage.

Hopefully, he thanks you for paying for the charging station for his toy. ;-)
