Does GM recommend not parking the Volt in direct sunlight in the hot summer months? Would that cause battery degradation if the battery is mostly charged?
Great article on this topic showing how it manages the battery temperature:

I have 54K on my 2011 Volt and still get over 40 electric miles in decent weather. Looking forward to getting a 2016 GEN II this Fall and passing our current one to another family member.
Battery management has been excellent!!!
