Your got that right the Volt is the electric car with a backup plan!

The Bolt may stole lot of sale from the Tesla 3 not because it's a better car! Just because it's available one year earlier!

The Volt battery and electric components coverage warranty is 8 Years or 100,000 Miles, unless he take a warranty extension it's not a good choice for her like it is for my GF who barely do 7,000 Miles per year, better get a Japanese car instead.
