Out of Electric Range and Gas! What happens? Amazing what the Volt does!!

1. Yes alex im bored 😂😂 starting from scratch. Do you think i could watch all eps in one day .?

2. 67 C10, 67 Camaro, 65 Corvette, 70 SS454 El Camino, drive the volt daily for economy and dont want the others stolen or door dings! Lol

3. Yes I have a 2016 CTS Vsport along with now Cadillac ELR Love both worlds

4. 100% agree with you on the final comments. I commute with the volt and then have a mustang, Camaro and 5ton army truck for fun 😁

5. Amazing

6. That's Great! Totally want a Volt. Thanks Boss 🤝

7. Just a word of caution. My 2013 Volt stopped shut off on the freeway with no warning at 70 mles per hour . Almost crashed. . Took it to dealer to repair The diagnose was 2 cells were bad on the main battery. Cost for a battery $26000 plus labor to install and replace the coolant to battery total $29000. I donated the car as it was over double what I paid for the car. You can but hard to find used Volt battery but with no guarantees for about $7000. However you stil have to install for another $3000. So long story short $10000 with no guarantees. Get rid of the Volt beofre you get stuck with a loss as I have. Pass this info to friends.

8. Your on L

9. I love cake. I also use a Volt as my daily driver and have 2 other cars. A modified 2003 350Z that I use on weekends and a 1997 Landcruiser that I take on "Overlanding" trips.

10. How far would it go if NOT in sport mode and seat heater not on?

11. You have Turtle Mode.. just like a Leaf.

12. I just bought a 2012 Volt because I need a gas sipping commuter for work. I have a Yukon XL the guzzles gas and a Harley Road King. I’m loving this thing so far! It has 202,000, but we’ll maintained; I ordered some cool new wheels and tires for it. 😎

13. Why the hell are you driving it in low? Makes no sense because your killing the engine. Yeah half the power in low gear…..what the hell are you doing?

14. I have a 2012 volt and I noticed when you did the test of running it out of
    Power ang gas you were in sport mode, does it work the same in normal and mountain mode?

15. Got a built jeep rubicon what is a trailer queen and a 2012 volt i daily to work and pick up the kids…. after 130k miles i finally have decreased battery range but the gas engine is so efficient I keep running it and am not worried about the battery…… I see no reason not to have a daily electric. Heck, I changed my brake pads at 11 years and 110k miles because I felt they were just too old…..

16. Awesome video thanks, do you by any chance know where the fuse for " under the hood remote battery terminal " is ? I blew it today by trying to give a jump to another car, now reads 0 volts. Thanks

17. I got a 1992 toyota celica gt convertible that I enjoy revving and my 13 volt which is giving me 23miles electric

18. anyone know how much more on the gen 2?

19. my 2014 Volt got an OnStar message that stated "charging has been interrupted" – I believe this has something to do with the disabling of the OnStar 2G connection – (too bad us US Volt users weren't offered the 4G upgrade the Canadians were offered) – anyway, after that message my car only charges to 24 miles electric – before that it would charge to 34/35 miles…….thoughts?

20. I believe you did this test backwards and hence came to the incorrect conclusion that GM let you use some of the battery reserve at the bottom of the charge cycle past 0%.

    When my 2013 Chevy Volt’s 3 year lease was about to expire, I also did a test.

    You thought you ran out the battery when it switched to gasoline mode (as it does every time a Volt driver runs out of electricity), but in this instance, the Volt software switches over before 0, leaving a secondary reserve which is what you accessed when you ran out of gasoline.

    What I did was:

    First I ran out the gasoline with electricity still in the battery. One way to do this is in Mountain Mode.

    Within a half mile of a local gas station, I started driving in one mile circles using the street and an alley paralleling the street, so that I would never be more than one-half mile from a local gas station.

    When I ran out of electricity in the alley, IT JUST STOPPED and a woman nearby helped me push it into a parking space, so that I would not block the alley.

    I tried in vain to get access to the reserve to start the Volt and drive over to the gas station.

    I then called AAA and they put 1 gallon into it and I drove over to the gas station to fill up, drive home and connect it to my charger.

    The true top and bottom reserve GM built into the Volt battery is protection for their 8 year warranty and not for you to use in an “emergency.”

21. 'My 2014 Volt has a gas tank problem…it only gets 80 miles of GAS RANGE when the gas tank is full. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to fix this?

22. Why are you driving in "L"

23. i drive most of a day in sports mode that makes it super snappy between red lights – the only car that gets tesla drivers surprised to see you're still on their tail is volt – everyone else are quarter mile long behind – also we went to racing lanes in Rosemond Race Tracks and when volt in sports mode it actually beats any tesla car except modelx plaid – cause it goes into ludacris mode which beats all cars and not just volts – moreover cops know volts instant acceleration capabilities that beat freeway police cruiser in takeoff so they did complain to GM about it (and as you know GM limited max speed for volts – well not just volts many models are hard limited to 100 mph – and that is not for no reason – especially when police insist on car makers to avoid building any new cars without being able to catch them – so the speed limit was introduced) – ergo my conspiracy theory about why volts were canceled for good – yeah, some folks telling long tales about how expensive the volt's engineering complexity was – but i think they built it for 10 years not because of that but because GM really needed to test the entire constellation of top of the line engineering in a single product plus states were covering the cost of the car for us – but once states stopped helping us to buy this car, GM knew that high cost of volt due to its over the top engineering will not attract enough buyers –

24. That's kool to know since I am a Onwer of the 2014 Cadillac ELR wink 😉

25. Does anybody know why he drives in L instead of Drive?

26. I have one a 2013 Volt i make $1050 per week on door dash and only spend $25 on gas.

27. Very good – oh the pain!

28. Need another video on this car mine on 140k miles lol still going very nicely

29. 2014 volt. 2001 Corvette with a 383 stroker and a vortech supercharger making nearly 800whp. Good combo.

30. Great Video. You were flooring and you got 2.4 miles, I thing if you drove generously you would get 5 miles at least. 😉

31. I have a 2020 Jaguar F-Pace SVR and a 2016 Cadillac ELR (which is the Volt hybrid platform). I also have a Range Rover SuperSport (Overfinch), a GMC Yukon, a Nissan 350z and a Mazda CX-3.

    Yup. I have too many cars. LOL

32. I have a 2018 Volt and an F150, but not just any F150 I added a supercharger to the eco-boost, thing only gets about 12 to the gallon but my volt offsets the fuel cost

33. 2011 Volt and 2012 Raptor here. One makes up for the other. 🙂

34. Fun fact – chevy engineers programmed more code into this car than the actual space shuttle. It’s extremely smart

35. At $4.30 a gallon, the people at work with the f-150 are jealous because I never have to fill up.

36. Seat warmer is still on 🙂

37. I’ve got the 2013 Ampera (Volt equivalent) for everyday and run my BMW E93 for the weekend with the top down when the sun is out! 😁

38. Dude I just bought a 2017 Volt Premier, and I have an 89 Trans Am GTA. What are the odds lol

39. I have this car as an Opel Ampera, and I'm very happy with it and I will keep it for a very long time. The designers and engineers were genius. The combination of speed and comfort is still rocking, beating most of the new cars.

40. I’ve got a Nissan Titan that gets 14mpg and a Chevy volt. Guys definitely hate when I roll up in the volt.

41. My live in truck struggles to do 20mpg. My extremely abused 240000mile 2005 Toyota Avensis D4D can still (if you try) achieve 80mpg!

42. your in low too… not drive

43. it doesn't exactly make sense that the car is "digging deeper" into battery reserves when it's had an entire tank of gas to recharge the battery somewhat. can you turn that off, and did you??

44. all these comments speak to me, i suddenly want to research turning in my 1999 lexus gs400 and get a volt.

45. I bought a 2018 volt. Love it . It is an enthusiast EV. And let you have a toy.

46. I have both a 2007 Prius and a 2013 Volt. The Volt hands down wins with a plug-in feature but by comparison, the Prius is so much more intuitive and comfortable to drive. Chevy tries hard to make electronic controls, door locks, even shifters look 10 years behind the times. Still, I like the driving modes and the electric range.
