I bought a used 2013 Chevy volt with 190,000 miles, and I ran a 10 gauge extension cord from my house to my parking pad since I don't have a garage. So far I have used 2 gallons of gas for the 2,000 miles I've driven since January. Those 2 gallons where used when it was like -20F here in Minnesota. I hope gas hits $10+ per gallon.
What kind of range u get in that bad boi
Im getting 30 miles of ev range on average when its above 40F outside, about 18-20 when its below freezing.
