What if the Volt you saw is their secondary car ? And they were on a long distance mini-vacation in an area without QC ... so they left their LEAF at home ? (Don't assume ...)tzzhc4 said:... [My wife] responded "... the Volt runs on gas, it is for people who can't commit to full EV.".Herm said:The Volt is like a Leaf with training wheels for the anxious ones among us.. and there are lots of those.

That's a GREAT idea.mwalsh said:LEAFer said:What if the Volt you saw is their secondary car ?
They should be forced to run a plate frame reading..."My other car is a REAL EV". :lol:
I didn't take offense. I typically don't assume but I will say my wife really doesn't like the Volt at all (she didn't like the Leaf until she drove it when they came to town in January but that is another story). I am happy to see series hybrids on the road wish they were diesel though.LEAFer said:I am afraid tzzhc4 and I are "talking" past each other, though. I did not mean to offend ... what I simply meant to say is that your (wife's) comment about a couple driving a Volt means that they can't commit to a full EV ... well, it makes a lot of assumptions.
In Texas their other vehicle is more than likely a diesel truck or a TDI (least that holds true for all the Leaf and Volt owners I have met so far).LEAFer said:Don't ask me how I know ... but if you had seen that Volt in Santa Cruz, CA on May 10, 2011 ... you'd be wrong.
I am glad to see QC too but so far and it is only EVGO network (79 a month with a 3 year commitment)LEAFer said:But I am glad to hear Texas has working QC ... now if Northern California (PG&E) could get their act together !!! :roll:
Agreed and the restaurant (Whiskey Keg) has good food and a awesome tap beer selection too. I didn't know until the next time I was in and mentioned it to the manager.LEAFer said:And I am glad to hear about the restaurant owner doing the right thing ! Even if they seem to have "chickened out" ... btw, did you know who the Volt belonged to when your wife made the comment ?
