Chevy Volt: charging port is on the driver-side front fender; fueling port on the passenger-side rear fender. I guess I'd prefer the driver side. Seems a bit easier to pull up to the pump and you don't have to walk around to fuel.


One of my cars has the tank on the driver's side and the other on the passenger. I didn't think I cared till reading this thread. Now I prefer the passenger side because I can open my car door all the way to get out at the pump and if refilling with a gas can on the side of the road I'm further from traffic. But ya, the convenience of easily getting out an not walking around the car is nice too and more useful.

I think I'm back to not caring.


I wonder if future electric ones will have multiple charge points? seems like ti would be easier than multiple liquid fuel filling points.


Which do you do more frequently though, charging or fueling?


Charging by far. Over 1,300 miles and it's still on its first tank of gas. Just a curious decision I thought that GM put them on different sides.


do you usually have electric pumps on the side not front of your car?
