Chevy Volt 2017 Review: An Electric Car With A Gas Assistant

The Chevy Volt is unlike any car I've ever driven. For the first 50 miles it's an all-electric sedan with zero tailpipe emissions that you can recharge at home. Once the battery runs dry, though, the Volt keeps going on a four-cylinder gas generator that takes you the rest of the car's 420-mile range. So the Volt 2017 (which is nearly identical to the Volt 2016) exists somewhere between yesterday's world of internal combustion engines and tomorrow's world of full electrics - and whether you call that an E-REV or a PHEV, it's a pretty exciting place to be. Hop behind the wheel with Michael Fisher for MrMobile's Chevy Volt 2017 Review!
[ABOUT THIS REVIEW]
The Chevy Volt 2017 Review was produced after seven days with a Chevy Volt 2017 review vehicle on loan from Chevrolet. The car was principally driven in the Greater Boston area in September 2016, with a 500-mile round trip to New York City via Newport, RI.

as a volt owner, I think you've got the most honest, accurate view of this car I've seen so far

[@richardalexander5758]

Still loving my 2017 after a year and 14,000 miles. I've had no problem beating all the advertised range and mileage figures.

[@PeterBlancoPhoneTechNet]

I just came here to say hi to Tony Sta- I mean Michael Fisher.

[@canoopsy]

Brilliant video. Love the conclusion, makes complete sense.

[@richardobrian9029]

Great video. Thank you! I took possession of my 2017 Chevy Volt in late August 2016, and to date have put in less than $20 of gas. I live in a cold climate area (Connecticut), so the engine runs any time the outside temperature is 30 degrees Fahrenheit or less or until the car is warmed up. My commute is less than 10 miles, so most days I don't use gasoline at all. Having come from driving a Prius for well over 15 years, I can say that the Chevy Volt is a great car. I look forward to hearing about others' experiences with this car.

i live in apartments and i charge my volt. i run an extension cord to it. and all is well. i love my volt. love it!! and i dont know why more people have one.

[@TheMrMobile]

Hey y'all - finally got my butt in a Chevy Bolt EV! Here's the test drive if you're interested in the Volt's all-electric sibling:

[@Importssuckass]

One of the best reviews I have ever seen on a 2017 volt. I have watched over 20 of them on here. Well done bro!

[@YouAreBreathing]

Now I want to see a drag race between Michael Fisher and MKBHD in their respective cars.

[@HellYeahItsEIVZ]

(Just discovered this channel) and now I am so happy Michael Fisher is finally back in my life :D

[@brtnspn]

This review is SO much better than any on "dedicated" car channels. Great work!

[@bwhick7492]

I love this car. I came from the first model and find this one to be even better.

[@johnnyViDeO]

Well done and thoughtful video, Mr. Fisher. Much lower maintenance on a PHEV, and the battery and electric powertrain are covered for 8 years and 100,000 miles. Perfect commuter/around town car with no range anxiety!

[@EternalDestiny48]

Simply the clearest and best review of the Chevy Volt and I have seen quite a bit of them! Thank you very much

[@johnnyViDeO]

Good, professionally shot and edited, video, my friend. One of the few points about the Volt you missed was the quiet and serene driving experience that is intoxicating. You can actually hear subtle nuances in your music whilst cruising down the highway. The other point is the much lower maintenance required. I am one of those fanatical Volt owners (2013), currently averaging over 140 MPG, with two oil changes and 4 tire rotations for maintenance over 50k of trouble free miles. Did I mention 5-star safety, 10 airbags, and much higher than average reliability? It is the car of the future, available now. BTW, good luck getting your M3 by 2020.

[@ericmilroy1968]

Dude, you have hands down the coolest reviews. Stay classy! :D

[@saynotogas]

This guy did the one thing no EV "Reviews" do. He compared the Volt with our current infrastructure!!! LIKE 3 POINTS Mr. Mobile.

[@JongChoongShyr]

so much quality without too much or too little details. Laconic yet captivating.

[@directorjustin]

I enjoy listening to you narrate. You speak very clearly and are relaxing to listen to.

[@PhoPhucLai02]

My favorite reviewer reviewing my favorite car. The stars and universe are aligning I feel :)
