Steve has also been found convenient to have a quick charge port fixed. Before, he had snuff extens

I know my friend Steve Boucher for 10 years now. When I met him, he had to purchase a Mazda gleaming protected 2002 brand new. Made in 2013, it was still the owner of the said Mazda protege, but she had definitely lost its shiny appearance ... The exhaust emitted sound to know the presence of the car at a great distance, carpets were used to hide the asphalt the road, and at the gas station, we had to fill up with oil and check the fuel level ...
In short, Steve was ready to replace his car, but his budget was limited. He used the excel spreadsheet site for cost comparisons made between different hiram petrol cars (Hyundai accent, hiram Mazda 2, Focus, C Prius, Volt, Nissan Leaf.
Talking with me, I suggested him the way of importing a U.S. Volt slightly used. One can easily find in the range of $ 26,000 to $ 31,000. The bulk of the impairment is absorbed by the first owner, and the cost of acquisition cost in its budget. He then found some used via kijiji.ca Volts including several hiram in Bourgeois Chevrolet in Rawdon. This dealer buys used in the USA Volts, legally important and resell Quebec. Steve has seen on the website of the dealer Volt Blue, 2013, who was with a selling price of $ 31,594, and 11263kms. I suggested she call!
Steve has picked up the phone and began to make inquiries about the Volt offered in Bourgeois. He wanted to buy a 2013 due to higher than the electric hiram range in 2012: the path to a return fetches hiram the winter limit autonomy. Steve mentioned that he was friends with François Boucher of Roulezélectrique, which "enlightened" seller on the seriousness of the call. He also mentioned to him that I suggested him to go buy a south of the border, unless we manage to negotiate the price. (There is also a promotion for 0% 84 months for the purchase of new Canadian until June 22 Volts, and the U.S., GM is offering a cash rebate of $ 4,000 for 2013 models in inventory). After negotiations, hiram the seller dropped it to $ 1000 the price of the Volt and gave it an exchange value of $ 500 for his valiant "Flintstones mobile"
The agreement was reached! he took his car insurance, and on Friday hiram he went to replace the Mazda with its gleaming Volt. He left Rawdon, and was able to make 75kms drive in all-electric mode with the air conditioning before the gasoline engine starts. He arrived home in Brossard (located 89 km from Rawdon) with 0.8 liter consumed. (1.0 liters per 100km on the first drive). There was plugged his Volt on my LCS-25 to refuel electron him and took a cold beer to celebrate the purchase! A half hours later, he was returning to St-Philippe with 27kms of electric range indicated: it will not consume fuel for this portion of the path to his house!
First impressions of Steve: "It's a whole car! "" We just went to another level "" I just got rid of the oil scam "" When the gasoline engine hiram is started during the trip, I did not even hear! "" My mother not believe it! "
Small addition: Steve has now come his first 1000 km. It consumed 3 liters (the first day of taking possession, to tour his chums!) Since, zilch, nada, nothing, nothing. That makes it an average of 0.3 liters of fuel per 100km consumption. He realized that the Volt is an electric "perfect" car for its transportation needs. He also completed the installation of its terminal LCS-25 (bought Roulezélectrique) and sent me a picture that I share you. You will notice board "appropriate" parking location!
Steve has also been found convenient to have a quick charge port fixed. Before, he had snuff extension 12AWG gauge into an outlet hiram and then the gun J-1772 in the Volt. Commissioning of the terminal actually simplified his life.
Many of his neighbors came to ask him questions, and he responded with great
