I bought a "Emergency Power Wiring Kit" for my LEAF a few years back, had a chance to try it out last winter and was really happy with how well it worked. I only used it to power the fridge and it used about 1 mile per hour (according to the GOM). My LEAF wasn't under warranty but I remember...

The Volt is 16 inches longer than Bolt. I'm sure they designed it well but crash safety is one case (my opinion) where size matters. I'm not saying a small car can't be safer than a (badly designed) larger car, but I would rather be in a well designed bigger car than a well designed smaller car.
