It has a range of about 300 miles.
According to Edmunds: The 2011 Chevrolet Volt is Chevy's much-anticipated new plug-in battery/gasoline hybrid, featuring an electric-only mode with a range of up to 40 miles. This Government Motors Deathtrap would not make my list no matter what, because I am boycotting the corrupt manufacturer forever, but it is particularly pathetic to claim its range as a gasoline car when the only reason for driving it is to look virtuous through owning an overpriced golf cart.
According to Edmunds:
... It has a range of over 300 miles.
It has an electric range of 30-40 miles. It has a gasoline range of 300 miles. If you want to pretend it's worth having, why not claim its human-powered range as unlimited (when you hop out and push it)? Since the point of the MilliVolt is to drive this expensive monstrosity as an electric car, it's relevant range is that in the design mode: 30-40 miles. This is not important in any case because no decent person would buy anything from a company that was seized in violation of existing law, at the expense of the lawful creditors, and propped up with taxpayer dollars as payback to the UAW and other corrupt friends of Barack Obama.
Ah, the eagerness of youth!
Public money being pumped into charging stations
Saturday, March 5, 2011 “local governments and the federal government have pumped millions of dollars of public subsidies into building charging stations.” http://www.projo.com/projocars/content/ca_charging_stations_03-05-11_VKMQPJQ_v6.8f34fc.html
Thank you.
We had a propane heater in ours too but I was always too afraid to run it while driving. Worked great once we were at our camping spot.
