Welcome to Small Sporty EV ownership!!


Just Drive it. (Who reads the manual???)

They made the climate controls normal, unlike the 1st Gen Volts.

Power it up, put it in Drive, release the Park Brake and ---- PUNCH IT !!!!


Sport mode does not add power, just 'pedal mapping'. TC and SC 'OFF' comes back on automatically at a certain speed.

Glove box on the right. What more do you need to know???? ;)


EV's don't need any sort of 'warmup' or 'break-in' like old fashioned gassers.

Short cold cycles have no effect on an EV.



 (I'm in the process of trying to wear out the front tires!! FUN !!

This sporty little car has so much Traction Control and Stability Control it's hard to get 'out of sorts' with it.

The front tires are seriously near the end of life. I thought they'd have better dry traction but, if anything they slip even easier. Maybe it's the cold asphalt.

I plan on  putting the stock 195's on the front for winter. (I swapped out the stock tires at ~3500 miles.)

The trick is to get to the tire store a few days before the snow forecast to avoid the crowds doing the exact same thing.....

I managed to get ~23k miles/18 months out of some Kuhmo, non-LRR, performance tires in stock sizes. The rears are fine, of course.)
