“My family and I are averaging 52 MPG on four Toyota Prius cars.”
Or, you could buy a Hyundai Elantra, average over 40 mpg and save a pile of up front cash. Not to mention, no replacement cost of hugely expensive battery packs.
Hybrids are viable, but minimally attractive. All electric cars are only viable for certain applications.
Whichever direction GM selects, bet on other options.
You know what else the gas-powered car can do that an electric one can’t? When you’re stuck in an electric car in winter traffic, you can decide which you prefer - getting home, or staying warm.
“All electric cars are only viable for certain applications”
Towing 7500 lb. trailers for 1200 mi being not among their suitable applications.
Not to mention, no replacement cost of hugely expensive battery packs.
Toyota warranties the battery in my wife’s Prius for EIGHT YEARS/ 1OOK MILES. (10 years or 150,000 miles in California)
The Prius traction batteries have an exceptional track record.
And the Prius will run OK with a dead battery, not great.
I bought my wife a KIA 2019 hybrid NIRO (PHEV). it combines the advantages of gasoline and electricity. It is awesome!!!
