OPEN LETTER FROM CHEVY VOLT OWNERS
Why are Chevy Volt Owners Keeping Their Keys?
Date: December 2, 2011
To the Media and Drivers Across America:
In light of the recent news stories regarding the Chevy Volt, we, as Volt owners, would like to set the record straight.
We are keeping the keys to our Volt. We love our Volt and we feel safe driving our Volt.
Volt owners are glad that the NHTSA, GM, and other manufacturers have now implemented protocols for electric cars in a variety of circumstances. Just as it is necessary to empty a gas tank after a major impact, it is necessary to discharge a battery pack after a major impact. This is a simple and straightforward process. Volt owners feel assured knowing that government and industry are working together to define and communicate this process for electric vehicles, just as they have done for gasoline-powered cars in years past.
We have done our homework and we know that there is no other car that offers all the advantages of a Volt. We take pleasure in the smooth driving experience. We get a thrill from the performance and acceleration. We feel at ease in its comfortable elegance. Perhaps most of all, we love the convenience and affordability of driving on electricity everyday, while also having the option of a back-up gas generator for long distances. This is the beauty of extended range electric drive. It's fun, it's practical, and it's the future that's available today.
Lastly, we encourage every driver in this country to test drive a plug-in electric car. The best way to truly know the electric car experience is to drive one.
Sincerely,
Chevy Volt Owners (A Facebook Group of 224 Members)
