Title: Chevy Volt 2012 Propulsion Power Reduced
Post by: tim.moore on October 19, 2018, 03:15:20 PM: Does anyone have a Chevy Volt that I could call to discuss the alerts on the Volt? My number is 708-236-0272.

Looks like the gm-volt forum is a good place to read and potentially ask about it. GM people seem to post in there too if they feel like they don't understand the issue yet.

Post by: tim.moore on October 31, 2018, 01:40:42 PM: Seems to have worked itself out. I am charging at 40 the previous owner only got 36. I travel 12 miles and use only 7 miles of range. I charge up with 120 volt and it charges easily in less time than my 75 mile Ford Focus Electric. I truly do not understand why Chevy Volts have such a low resale value. I have 62,000 on the car and it does not look like the battery pack is any worse for the wear.

I agree with you, I think the demand for used ones just isn't enough to absorb all of the used units on the market. It won't last forever so if you want a cheap Volt, get on with it!

Like you have noted, they seem to be reliable.
