Driving Stats - Day one and two

Volt was plugged into my house last night.  I plugged in the car around 8 PM and it was fully charged at 5 AM.  It was very easy to charge and designed to be similar to filling your car with gasoline. 

This morning's driving stats:
Miles: 21
Temp: 54 degrees (they say the Volt does not like anything colder than 70 F - and I agree with the
            Volt)
Time: around 40 minutes
Remaining miles on charge: 17

The car is advertised as getting 38 miles per charge.  Yay for accurate advertising!

There is a free electric car charging station across the street from my work, so I was looking forward to trying it this morning.  Unfortunately, a truck was parked blocking both charging ports. 

I tried to plug-in this afternoon and discovered that I need a special card to use that machine.  It was easy to find online and should have it soon.
