I sold my Volt to get the last bit of cash to justify ordering my MS. I admit it; there are still things I miss about that car.
Of course there was no range anxiety whatsoever. Now, on occasional trips, I sometimes have to be conscious of where superchargers are and plan accordingly. Range Anxiety is too strong of a characterization, but it's something I didn't experience with the Volt.
I thought of my Volt as "trusty". I think of my MS as "oh, I hope it won't develop a problem". This is mostly because getting my Volt serviced was not a terrible inconvenience. Getting my MS an annual checkup and repairing the yellow-fringe was a 6hr drive each way and required a long weekend investment.
I completely agree that the Volt was a transition vehicle for me. Other than old, used farm beaters, I doubt I'll buy an ICE vehicle ever again.
RIP Volt, you were loved.
