First Chevy Volt owner in Louisville, Bob Sokoler says: "This is crazy! There's no way I would give back or sell my Chevy volt!" Bob has been driving the Volt since the end of April 2011.
He ordered the car in Paramus New Jersey, waited three months for delivery, flew up to New York to pick up the Volt and drove it back with his dad the same night. Bob says:"It's been a wonderful experience, I love this car!"
Bob is a Louisville Kentucky realtor and uses his car to show property and meet clients. His only regret is that Ford is a year behind with their electric car." Louisville is a Ford town" says Bob "I'd love to be driving a Ford product to support my town"
Since the recent reported battery fires from side impact crashes were conducted by safety teams, GM has offered to buy back any Volt.
Sokoler: "So the worst-case scenario is I get into a collision, I walk away, and days or weeks later the car catches on fire, as long as the occupants are okay that's all I'm concerned about".
"If you follow the news you know there's been a lot of attention paid to the Chevy volt, its pioneering technology, and it has a big target on! Every time a garage catches on fire with the Chevy volt in it, there's an enormous investigation to see if the Chevy volt or the charger for it cause the fire. In every case to date, the charger have not been the fault of the fire".
"I appreciate GM offering to buy it back as a good gesture, but I'm tearing up the letter with that offer. I would never give back, sell back or give away my Chevy volt. It's an enjoyable car to drive, I love passing up gas stations and I some my nose to the oil industry whenever I can. Alternative fuels are the wave of the future."
