Running the numbers

We decided to do research to see if an EV would fit for us, we ran all kinds of numbers, cost cost cost, until we were blue in the face, it's very important to make sure you don't just focus on numbers, make sure the car fits your lifestyle.  For commuting to work, getting groceries, running across town for dinner on date night, short trips to visit family over a long weekend, the Volt just fit more than a pure EV.  We already decided that our annual trip to see Mickey Mouse we wouldn't squeeze into the Volt, our second car a Ford F150 (now called Big Gulp) fits more than enough for us to go on a week long trip or we could rent a larger car if necessary.  So all this we decided the numbers looked good, and since we drove the car for a week through work we were familiar with the size, we were really interested in talking to some dealers.  I tracked down the cars on the dealers lots that had the options we wanted and set out to talk to them about them.  After a few visits to the dealers we ended up back at Boulevard Chevrolet in Lillington.  Lee, Bruce, Clint and the entire team worked with us to get what we felt was a great deal on the terms that we had hoped to fit our scenarios...so as of Saturday March 17th we were driving home in a Red 2012 Chevy Volt!
