Doubt it… look at the number of first gen Volts still on the road.
- _heimdall 4y agoI have a 2015 Volt with 98k miles. Still drives great and charges to full capacity. Chevy dramatically over built the first gen, it was the second gen where they were forced to actually limit their design based on lame goals like "making a profit"
- NDizzle 4y agoI have a '17 second gen that I'll be selling within the next 3 years. 60k miles on it right now. Gotta sell it before it has a $20k boat anchor on board. Unless something happens and I get the battery replaced under warranty for some reason, then I'll continue using it. Lifetime 172 mpg over 60,000 miles!
- rnk 4y agoThat's kind of misleading. My electric only car gets infinite mpg over 65,000 miles. It's 8 years old.
- NDizzle 4y agoHow is it misleading? It seems to be a standard measurement for vehicles that can move via both gas engines and electric motors. It gets around 42 mpg when running purely on the gas engine. Based on the distance I have traveled and the amount that I have used the gas engine, it works out to 172 miles per actual gallon used. MPGe is what you would refer to for your fully electric car.
