>Volt has been out since 2011 with as-far-as-I-know no battery degradation issues. Some people have driven well over 300,000 miles with no problems

This is nice but anectdotal evidence is useless when looking at failure rates. Does GM put out any actual data on the Volt/Bolt? Im really curious how they stack up against Toyota for reliability.
