Chevy Volt discontinued: Chevrolet's last Volt rolls off the assembly line
&gt;It&#x27;s a true shame, as GM finally got the little details right on both how the engine was put together as well as the interior fit and finish on the 2017 model.<p>Completely agree. I leased a first gen and am now leasing a second gen volt. I&#x27;m actually considering buying my current car at the end of the lease. As a bike commuter, it is my only vehicle, which is why I went the hybrid rather than full electric route.<p>The first gen I got rid of at the first opportunity. The car did it&#x27;s job but the shifter physical design was moronic and the fit and finish was so bad that I actually cut myself on a piece of the interior plastic one day.<p>The 2nd gen is &#x27;just a car&#x27; a nice car actually. Excepting a maintenance screwup by a dealer I have had zero - zero - maintenance issues with the second gen. Because I don&#x27;t ever have to charge it, and don&#x27;t drive it much, I can usually charge it for free (I&#x27;m an apartment dweller). I spend about 80% of the miles on electric. I think I&#x27;ve bought two tanks of gas in six months.<p>Funny story...a friend of mine&#x27;s mother was actually the lead systems engineer on gen one. I met her at a graduation party and we had about a 3 hr long engineering nerd out over the 1st gen. I asked about a billion &#x27;why did you&#x2F;why didn&#x27;t you&#x27; questions and was amazed at how many good ideas were left on the table.
