Nice words, thank you.

Thanks for that information. It's amazing that car manufacturer's sometimes overlook the obvious such as beefed up shocks when adding weight to the rear end.

One of my favorite cars I've owned. The only negative and it was a big one; the battery was so freaking small. Still, even with the small battery, I sometimes wish I had it instead of my Volt. I know most would think that makes me insane but with the same size battery and if it were liquid cooled then call me crazy but I'm choosing the C-Max Energi over the Volt.

@@ArkansasEV what are the differences between this & Volt? I'm thinking of this & Volt & Prius Prime.

Perhaps it was downhill on the way to the Doctors office. Even a slight decline in slow traffic and that might be possible. But, on the way back an incline. 36 MPG is really close to what I average when I run out of battery.

They are so expensive compared to what I paid but all cars are.

That's better MPG than I would've thought for a Duramax. My wife got a new Silverado in July and we are averaging 22 or 23 MPG and that surprises me but it's a small engine. We don't need much hauling weight. She just likes trucks. So do I but I prefer electric.

@@ArkansasEV yeah I'm pretty happy with it seeing as the truck has 370k miles and a 50 gallon auxiliary tank in the bed (350 lbs of diesel + 100 lbs of tank). I'm pretty meticulous with maintenance on it and I have a light foot so that helps I'm sure. Also stock height and stock wheels/tires.

I can't remember what I paid. I looked for the paperwork the other day and can't find it. I'm thinking it was high 14's or low 15's. This is a hybrid with an extra large battery meaning in non winter depending on many factors you should get 20-25 miles of all electric and then it functions like any other hybrid. In winter however, it gets 8-15 and most times 8-12 miles of all electric. That is why I've already sold it. Carvana picked it up yesterday and paid me for it. Tomorrow I'm going 4 1/2 hours away to buy a Chevy Bolt which is 100% electric and about 200 miles of range in non winter. My electric bill didn't go up any that I could notice. This car has about a 5 1/2 KWH battery and each KWH cost 8 cents where I live. Charging time depends on if you have a 220 or 110. With my 220 it took about 2 hours to fully charge it. With a 110 I'd guess it'd take 6 hours but that's just a guess.

@@ArkansasEV Thank you for all the valuable information. Enjoy your new car!

It's very simple. It is much more comfortable and a much better ride than the 1st Generation Volt but not nearly as practical.

You can charge in the rain. If it were mine I'd just charge it every day but I'm not saying that'd be best for it. I don't know but that's what I'd do. If I were concerned then I'd skip charging it in winter because the range is pretty bad anyway when it's really cold out so it doesn't matter as much. One day my wife got I think 9 or 10 measly miles on a bitter cold day.

Excellent vehicle

Good. I hope you like it as much as I did.

@@ArkansasEV why did you replace it?

@@infamous_MB A Chevy Bolt but because of the way GM was handling the battery situation I now drive an 18 Volt.

I am as poor as Job's turkey as my Grandmother used to say. That's why I'm not doing a video on my new Tesla or Mustang Electric. I considered my Volt to be quite reliable. The heater went out 9 day after owning it but the warranty company through Carvana fixed it. That's the only problem I had with it mechanically.
