no noise. no stink. it would be surreal.
Germany being perhaps the first country to approach this "ideal"?
I don't about other Volt/EV owners, but I have discovered something interesting. The Volt is constantly showing you if you are driving 'smart', smooth accelerations, long braking, basically, taking it easy. So, you sort of end up driving 'smart', and 'calmer'. I am not an aggressive driver on the commute, but I think the Volt has even added to that. Traffic Jams - who cares, I'll get home. Stupid driver cuts me off - glad I am not dumb like him.

Maybe we would be more civil... who knows.
