Mark, when I saw the stats on the Chevy Volt...I wasn't pleased.
The Tesla is of course THE one.
But if you can't afford that at the moment and just really, really want an electric car...the Nissan Leaf appears to be far superior:

But I guess it's a little late for you to change things.
I'm guessing you'll enjoy the Volt. A new car is always fun no matter what. I just think you could have made a better decision on it IF you had consulted with GFY first! lol
