Chevy Volt Driving 101

One  of the great things about driving a Volt is that with no special driving techniques you will still get 90 to 95 percent of  mpg s and capabilities of the vehicle.

To start off just put it in D or L and take off!

You can drive at all speeds in either. Be sure to depress breakes slowly to get the regenerative breaking effect.

L is not actually a low gear and would be more accurate to call it C for City Driving.

In L the regenerative braking is more aggressive and the handling a bit different.

I use this rule of thumb when switching between the two for max MPG and performance:D for speeds of above 35 and L for below as well as stop and go traffic.

When breaking switch to L and slowly press break as needed.
