All of that is accurate. But they left out people sh!tting on the sidewalk, trash cans constantly flipped over by food treasure hunters, garbage everywhere...

What?! Wikipedia makes it sound like a great place to visit. Boyle Heights, historically known as Paredón Blanco,is a notable and historic Chicano/Mexican-American neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, located east of the Los Angeles River. Boyle Heights is known as a bastion of Chicano culture, hosting cultural landmarks like Mariachi Plaza and events like the annual Día de los Muertos celebrations.

Google lists the range of a new 2013 Chevy Volt as 38 mi. You're getting a reported 36 mi of range out of this one, so this one is only 2 mi lower than when it was brand new, assuming the display is correct. I'm sure you'll be much happier when you get the 240v chargers installed at home and work.

Got a buddy that will sell his once he has his S4D. LOL. But we know how that is going.

Sorry, my friend informed me he sold it a few month ago. He is waiting on parts for his S4 like everyone else.

Yes you did and I'm sure the battery is original. I can't 'TJ' this car and rip it apart and replace errythang though. It is what it is. I've never owned an EV, never had one on my radar and did zero research on them until Tony offered it up. The charger cord that came with it will do 120v/240v via a NEMA6-20 plug (it has a NEMA5-15 adapter for 120v now) so just need to get that socket wired up at the house. A few articles claimed 4 hour charging on 240v power. I'll check out the free charging station in the off-site parking structure at work, which is a 10 minute walk from my office each way. Not bad, but it's Boyle Heights in East LA and not a place for a guy like me to be on the streets at 9:30 pm and again at 5:30 am. The things I'll do to live green and save the planet...

From ChargePoint Level 1 chargers: These are the 120-volt charging cords that come with your vehicle. You can connect the three-prong plug into any standard wall socket and the other end into your car's standard charging port. Level 1 charging provides the slowest charge. Level 2 chargers: These are 240-volt charging systems with cables that connect to the standard charging port in your car. Most public charging stations have Level 2 chargers. Many electric vehicle owners also upgrade their dedicated home charging system to a Level 2 charger. Level 2 charging systems are at least twice as fast as Level 1 chargers and allow you to fully recharge your battery in less time. Charging a plug-in hybrid at home is not much different from charging your cell phone or laptop. Just plug the cord that comes with the car into a regular wall outlet to add about 4 miles of Range Per Hour. It will take about 12 hours to recharge your Chevy Volt this way. One difference to note is that many plug-in hybrids like the Volt have a slower onboard charger (what converts AC power from an outlet to DC power for the battery) than battery electric vehicles, meaning these hybrids can add only about 12 miles of Range Per Hour with even a 32-amp Level 2 charger (that’s compared with the 25 miles of Range Per Hour most battery electric vehicles can add). Still, getting a faster Level 2 charger will prepare you get an all-electric vehicle eventually, like I did.

The search is over! Thank you @URCLEVER this is a great first car for my daughter. She loves it!
