Expert Answers about Chevrolet Volt


  • Will the Large Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box Fit a 2017 Chevy Volt
  • The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH629706 is a bit large for a 2017 Chevrolet Volt. It would fit but you might not be able to open the hatch fully with the box installed. Instead, I recommend the Thule Pulse Medium Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH614 which will be the perfect size and it will allow you to open up the hatch as we have tested this ourselves.

  • Roof Rack and Rooftop Cargo Box for 2017 Chevy Volt
  • The Yakima roof rack will absolutely fit on your 2017 Chevy Volt. For a complete rack you will need the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, BaseLine Towers # Y28TR, BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06137 as well as BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06126. I have added a photo showing this rack installed on a '17 Volt so you can see exactly how it will look.

  • Will the Swagman Titan Bike Rack fit on a 2018 Chevy Volt?
  • Because this rack fits either 1-1/4" or 2" hitch receiver, assuming that you already have a hitch on your 2018 Chevy Volt, it will fit either receiver size. If you don't already have a hitch for your Chevy Volt, I recommend the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11436. This hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver and is a fully welded, corrosion resistant hitch that is perfect for light duty towing applications and hitch mounted accessories.

  • Can a Trailer Hitch Receiver Be Welded Onto Impact Structure Behind Rear Bumper For 2017 Chevy Volt?
  • The impact structure behind the rear bumper fascia of your 2017 Chevrolet Volt is not structurally strong enough to support a receiver. This is why instead of replacing the impact structure the available Curt # C11436, Draw-Tite # 24947 and EcoHitch # 306-X7338 mount behind the structure. The impact structure is also designed to help absorb impact in a collision while the receiver is designed to support the weight when towing or carrying additional weight. I do feel the EcoHitch is the...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack for 2017 Chevrolet Volt
  • The Curt # C11436 is confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevrolet Volt. There isn't a lot of trimming to the fascia. A 3" inch by 5" inch rectangular hole will need to be cut into the underbody panel. See the picture I attached from the install instructions. You can see this on page 6 of the instructions that I attached for you and on the installation video to learn more. For a hitch mounted bike rack, you're going to want something that is light so it doesn't take up all the weight your...

  • Is Vehicle License Plate Not Visible if Receiver of EcoHitch 306-X7338 is Used on 2017 Chevy Volt
  • The license plate bracket included with the # 306-X7338 hitch would flip upward which would indeed make the plate not viewable from the rear. This means that you might need to remove the license plate and mount it to the rear of the hitch mounted accessory so it's visible. If you'd prefer not to deal with that, you could use a standard hitch like the Curt Class I, part # C11436. When installed, the only portion of the hitch that would be visible is the receiver tube and the safety chain...

  • Hitch and Hitch Bike Rack Compatibility on 2017 Chevy Volt
  • I checked your order and the Curt Class I hitch # C11436 is a confirmed fit on your 2017 Chevy Volt. This hitch will be ideal for using the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # SH12P. You will need to use the Curt support strap # 18050 or a similar item to help stabilize the rack's weight on the car. This is a Curt warranty requirement.

  • Fit of Thule OutWay # TH45JV on Opel Ampera
  • According to our friends at Thule, theirOutWay Trunk Mounted Bike Rack # TH45JV and TH56BV will indeed fit a 2011-12 Chevy Volt. It will work with a vehicle that has a stock spoiler. Does this mean the OutWay will fit your Opel Ampera? I took a look at the rear end of the Ampera and it appears that it is almost exactly like the Volt. The OutWay should be able to handle an electric bike as long as the weight capacity of the rack is not exceeded. The 2 bike version of the Raceway # TH45JV...

  • Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2014 Chevy Volt
  • The Thule OutWay # TH45JV is a fit for your 2014 Chevy Volt. There is a next to zero chance of the rack breaking the rear window on the vehicle. Most of the weight is on the lower leg and top cables which should not be hooked to the glass. Dents are possible on any vehicle unless that vehicle has a metal bumper. I own the older 3-bike version of this rack, which was heavier, especially when loaded, and I have not had any problems with dents. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not...

  • 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Plug-In Hybrid Compatibility with Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Rack
  • For your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Plug-In Hybrid, if you use the Draw-Tite # 76209 as your trailer hitch you will be able to use the Kuat Transfer 3 Bike # KU24FR. The measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole on the hitch is 3 inches back from the bumper and the Kuat Transfer will be 4 inches. This will give you clearance so they will absolutely be compatible and complimentary to each other. This rack is easy to use and the design allows for the easiest loading of that third bike...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk mount Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Chevy Volt
  • The Thule Raceway 3, # TH56BV, is listed as a fit for your 2012 Chevy Volt by Thule. The cables are long enough to attach the bike rack safely. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter works.

  • Tow Dolly and Scooter Carrier for 2014 Chevy Volt and Vespa Scooter
  • I took a look at the owner's manual of a 2014 Chevy Volt and it is able to be towed via dolly so what I highly recommend for a dolly is the Demco Kar Kaddy 3 Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame # DM9713046 or Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable # DM9713045 because of how much easier they are to use than other dollies. The Kar Kaddy 3 tilts down and the Kar Kaddy SS has a ramp so you can simply drive up the dolly and secure your car on it. These dollies also have a...

  • Will the Thule the Gateway Bike Rack part # TH88VR fit a 2013 Chevy Volt
  • We haven't had the chance to install a trunk mounted bike rack on a 2013 Chevy Volt so we don't have any install pics or viceos, but according to Thule this is confirmed to fit your vehicle. The following fit tips are recommended: Place top clips in the gap at the front edge of the top of the trunk, hatch or door. Place lower clips in the bottom edge of trunk or hatch. Lower arm of carrier should be positioned on upper tier of bumper. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for Step-Thru Electric Bike on 2013 Chevy Volt
  • None of the trunk-mounted bike racks that fit your 2013 Chevy Volt will allow you to open the trunk with the rack on. Each would also require you to use an adapter bar - which attaches to the rack - for a bike with a step-thru frame. Additionally, trunk-mounted racks are not a good option for electric bikes because they do not have the weight capacity necessary to support an electric bike. That said, there is a way for you to avoid using an adapter bar and have access to your Volt's trunk,...
