Thanks pinballlooking,

Can't bad mouth the Volt anymore.

But still think it will make a great in-town electric car for us.

Found, not getting a full charge is common, a lot of factors there. I got up at 2AM, it was around 50 degrees with a flashing green light was on. Wife drove off at 6AM 4 hours later with a 38 mile charge for the first drive to work.

My solar company 'Sun Valley Solar' is installing a 1.7 meg watt system, maybe that's slowing them down on the installs this year, it's only around 5,000 sun power 345 watt panels. I'm hopping I can generate enough watts for the Volt with the 9.2k system.

pinballlooking, my thought is, if you can generate 95 percent of your electric needs, your getting the best out of your system. Over generating your loosing money.
