This blog will document the whole ownership experience of my 2014 Chevy Volt! The Volt is one of the most technologically advanced vehicles on the road, and that results in a lot of unknowns regarding functionality and features. I am learning about the car as I go and hope to clarify misinformation about it.

Quebec "Drive Electric" Program subvention cut in half!
I logged on to the Quebec government EV site to send them another email asking if I need to install a 240V charger to get the $800 rebate. I am renting and therefore do not want to install the charger on property that is not my own! I plan to buy a L2 charger and install it when I eventually buy a home. As an employee of one of the L2 suppliers I can get a pretty sweet discount. I checked out the Quebec EV rebate for 2014 and it has been cut in half! The maximum is now $4000 with the Volt getting a $3961 cash incentive. Without getting into socialism issues, this is a significant drop and I believe it will negatively impact EV sales in the short term. Let's hope battery technology continues to improve so that the vehicle prices can drop.
