Yes that is why I said

"That does not include electric but we charge with solar so it works for us."
We make enough solar power to cover the Volt and our house.

( Nice Calculations! )

Each full charge takes about 12 kwh we do this at least twice a day.

In the summer we normally get 39-45 miles per charge.

Here are my actual numbers. This is updated daily with OnStar so the data comes straight from the car no user input at all.

Volt Stats: Details for Volt #2013-02615 (Flynn's Light Runner)

This is todays snapshot of it.


I don't want to mislead anyone my saving numbers will always look better since we charge with solar.

We also live outside town in a rural setting. This usually means I would not be able to have a EV but with the Volt that is not the case. My gas miles shows that we live out a ways. A Tesla would work but I have to win the lotto for that and I don't play it so I guess a Volt will have to do.
