That sounds like a good deal on the Cruze. Is it a LS, LT, 2LT, Eco? What options? RS package?
I haven't seen the first electric bill yet, but it will be higher than it should be in the future. Tonight I'm running a 220 line to the garage and in the next few weeks I should have the charger and secondary meter installed. Then I can charge with fewer losses, in shorter time, and at a lower rate.
So far the gas gauge says it's still full and the engine has only turned on twice, for a total of about 12 miles or so. Typically we would spend around $120/month on gas for what the Volt has replaced. Supposedly it's only around $1 per day to charge the battery. We'll see how true that is soon.
I was genuinely surprised I could make my commute on a full charge, but obviously that could only happen in decent temperature.
