#electriccar #hybridcar #electricvehicle #hybridvehicles After five years of having our Volt, we decided to put driving in low to the test again. We did this experiment on a long-term trip on our spring break quite a few months ago, and found that it was helpful and saw an increase in miles per gallon. We also preferred how it felt driving in low and we decided to again put it to a test in city driving in pure electric mode, since according to OnStar, we drive in pure electric mode 80% of the time. This exactly why we purchased a Chevy Volt. We feel that any increase in regeneration is a good increase, and even though it was not a drastic difference, we do prefer the one foot driving and not having to use the hand paddle at all. For this experiment, in both cases, the driving was very similar. The weather was very similar, the road conditions were similar, and we feel that for us this was enough to convince us to just drive in low all the time, and since we like the feeling of it, we are sold on it. So, we are just going to leave it in low all the time no matter where we drive. Hopefully this helps a lot of people who have a car like we do whether it is a Volt or not. We have recently purchased a plug-in electric hybrid Jeep Wrangler, and it actually has a button you can push to put it in a higher regeneration mode. When you have it in that mode it drives very similarly to when we have our Volt in low, so again we just leave it on all the time.

I didnt catch if you mention this or not in the video driving in L or using one pedal driving with EV cars in general has one risk to put it in perspective, when you learn to ride a motorcycle you are taught whenever you sense a bad situation lining up, you cover your brakes which means put your fingers and toes over the brake lever and pedal, so you can brake instantly if you need to using one pedal driving the car is limited to how fast it can stop using only regen - if you get caught off guard and need to stop quickly while feathering the regen with your foot on the accelerator, it takes time to recognize you need to stop faster, and to move your foot over to the brake pedal its not a big risk, be when it happens you will know, and if you have passengers in the car you will need to brake twice as hard once you moved your foot to the brake pedal
Chevy should pay you guys for this research! This is real world usage and super valuable information for Volt users. You guys rock! The Volt has been pretty solid for you guys over the years. No major work needed so far. Low is the way to go! 🐾🐾
My wife drives our 2017 Volt to work and back (50 miles round trip) and she always drives in D and "normal." Almost always makes it on battery (except in winter), we don't see much difference between D and L. However, I do like L in heavy traffic or on city streets. I always put it in D on the freeway. Great cars!
Magnificent Test Drive presentation, J&D👍 Everything looks awesome! Thanks for the visit, much appreciated! Have a pleasant Wednesday 🥰 Keep in touch ~
Interesting considerations and tests on your legendary Chevy Volt. New generation electric cars are certainly making great strides in terms of autonomy and fast charging now.👍
Honestly 1 mile isn't that much of a difference, it could've been the driving was slightly different as it was so close, I think the only fair test would be in a straight line with the speed set so the test is identical but that would be next to impossible to do, nice test Dan!
Interesting considerations and tests on your legendary Chevy Volt. New generation electric cars are certainly making great strides in terms of autonomy and fast charging now.👍 Hello guys, here watching and supporting you. It’s great that you’ve kept your car so many years now. 👍
Gen1 Volt doesn't trigger brake lights when using L setting, so you may surprise some people behind you that you're slowing more than they may expect. Not sure about Gen2.
I really love your upload!! I want to tell you something! Keep going. Don’t give up. Things will work out eventually! KEEP GOING… no matter how bad things are right now, no matter how stuck you feel, no matter how many days you’ve spent crying, no matter how many days you’ve spent wishing things were different, no matter how hopeless and depressed you feel, I promise you won’t feel this way forever…KEEP GOING!! And I don't forget to press the bell button! 🤗❤
Thanks for the driving tutorial. I have the Abarth, it is a ruin, 10, 12 liters per 100 km. Here a liter of gasoline costs 1,80€ depending on the day. Greetings
I am here to watch and appreciate your wonderful presentation…….it really does not matter how far we are from each other…….we are always connected through our thoughtful creations…….always beside you with lots of love and good wishes…….........💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I know mid Buster did do a test on runing the ac and it don’t take that much gas runing the ac The car is great on gas so far I believe this is haf gas and haf battery Right. If you drive in a low all the items that will only be on battery right? This is awesome I add $20 to 50 of gas in my exv I wold like to by a car like this just for running around errands and stuff free energy is free energy I thank there is a difference with the test that you made I’m going to try to get me a car for a daily runner And save some money for the tanks lol good video guys

Interesting test you would think you would get more regeneration in low mode . They set the date back for more electric cars in the uk I think 🤔 Good video test drive Jack & Dan. Catch up with you again soon 👍 🚗 👍
Thanks for the info. I just got a 2017 with 96k miles replacing my 2016 Prius V. I can only charge at work on the weekend or briefly during the week for lunch. Hopefully I’ll have a place I can charge at in the near future. I’ve been after one of these for years! I can’t wait for the heat to drop here in FL as I’m using up so much power with the A/C (I do street outreach so have a lot of idling).
glad you got it......you're going to love it......and using LOW will save your brakes a lot......we are taking it in soon for it's 6 year maintenance check up and will be posting a video on that in a few weeks....
