Again?!?

Bonnie's Red VoltYes, we did it again.

We bought another Volt (our 4th).

My 2012 Blue went back to the leasing company on the 21st of July. My wife Bonnie has to return her 2012 white Volt by December 28th. We were so excited to be getting a 2016 Volt, when the news hit: No 2016 Volts in Texas (and 38 other states).

Although disappointed at not getting the 2016, in time for the Income Tax credit on our 2015 tax returns, we knew we needed the tax credit, so we pulled the trigger on a new 2015. The incentives available on the last of the 2015’s was PHENOMENAL, tempering our disappointment a bit.

It’s the first one we’ve had with the backup camera and Bose sound system. Very sweet.Red's new homeRed's new home

About the author

An accidental EVangelist: On my way to work at Apple one morning, my car was rear-ended (and totaled) by an SUV, driven by a guy playing with his smartphone.
This led me to get my first plug-in vehicle.
I started blogging about my experiences immediately.
A year later, in 2013, I was hired by the dealership as their "EVangelist."
I became a board member with the Texas Electric Transportation Resources Alliance (www.TxETRA.org) and perform public speaking in the DFW area regarding electric vehicles and environmental issues.
I also teach others how to sell plug-in vehicles or manage EV sales.
I'm on a mission.

  1. Very nice – looks just like a loaded one that I was tracking at an Austin dealer that sold last week or so. (VIN ending in 23430) They had it down to $29,900 before tax incentives and if I was closer to lease end on my Ford Fusion Energi, I would have snapped it up.
