I have had my Volt for a while now. I just had to make a quick trip to Fort Myers FL.
On the drive back I had a fully charged car and I stopped in Jacksonville FL at my nephew’s place and charged my car close to full charge. It was old wiring so I only charged with 8 amps. I did not feel comfortable with 12 amps.
I drove 675 miles one way 40 MPG I was driving 75-76 most of the way. When the car calculates MPG it also counts the EV miles.
If you drive very long trips all the time a Toyota Prius would do better than a Volt.
But that is not how we use our car so the Volt works well for us.

We have 67,458 solar Powered EV miles so far.
