They finally listened to us and added the upgraded charging and steering wheel features to the new model. It took far more energy than I expected to reach this result but I am grateful you chose to stick with me through the long silence from them. I am stepping back …

The goal of this petition is to tell you how much we want some new feature in the new 2016 volt. If those feature are not implemented in the next generation, we will reconsider buying the volt again.
We need a heated steering!... in an electric car its a must!
We understand that the 2016 volt won't have a 50kwh in its battery but at least if we have a smaller one PLEASE give us the ability to charge it faster... it is a must for us volt owner to be able to charge that small battery as fast as possible.
We want and NEED this new charger at least as an option and even an optional 7.2khw would be great.

The emails I get from some of you are exhausting because they confirm just how much we are being ignored by the people making these design choices. I am still pushing for a response even though the silence from their office is draining my patience.

YES! Needed or at the least as an option , Same thing with the heated steering wheel. 6.6 KW would be usefull during the winter when I pre-condition where I would not be draining the battery to keep up with the 5KW heater
I own two 2012 Chevy Volts and I expect to get a Tesla Model X. There are only a few things that would have convinced to switch out to the next gen Volt. Lack of fairly common 6.6kw charging pretty much assures that I will not bother with the next Volt and stay content with my current model(s).
6.6 KW charging is more effective to help families and even fleet drivers (other than GE fleet who couldn't care less) to plug in more often to refresh their batteries faster for more electric driving throughout the day.
Here in Quebec the charging station charge 1$ an hour to charge... in fact its cheaper to use gas that charge because the charger is so slow in the volt. PLEASE at least make it an option!
My biggest compaint about the MY '13 I own is the 3.3KW charger. It caused an argument between my wife and myself when I choose a restaurant becuase of charging ability and after lunch we only had 6 miles of range. GM please make charging on the road worth while
As a new volt owner I do drive a lot and if I could charge at least as 6.6 I can do all my errands and daily driving our electricity thank you very much for your time
option to have 6.6 kw charger in my 2017 volt

Dear GM, your EV1 had a 6,6KW charger in 1996. It should be none but the least 20 years later! Also, a CCS-Combo or a Chademo plug, even in option, is a must to bring the future Volt to the 21st century.
