I wouldn’t buy a Volt at this point. It’s time to go full EV. The Volt is a great transition vehicle but the transition is over.
Not for everyone. You refuse to acknowledge that whenever the subject come up. Good for you that at this moment in time for your life needs and where you live a full EV works. you ain't all of us.
Thats true... but if the cost wasn't silly stupid, it *could* work for 80%? more? of the USA.
My family could easily get by with EV -- something like the new Hyundia/kia or a leaf or mach e. Maybe one tesla with extended range for the few times a year we take a 400 mile trip to family.
But all so much $$$$$.
Up front $$, maybe. Depends on what you are comparing, don't forget about tax the very real tax incentives and rebates out there.
Key issue is that most people in this country can't afford to buy an EV, let alone one that meets their needs. Then look at where they live. Apartment and townhome complexes aren't set up for charging. What about people that live in cities that don't have off street parking. All of the costs add up. Poor and low income people are getting screwed by the increased fuel costs.
