And these are a bunch of screaming liberals too.
Funny how temperature sensitive these electric cars are. Even when compared with the variations in gas mileage that are seen in conventionally fueled cars. Weather that might cut gas mileage in half will cause an electric car to be able to barely budge.
This will be the first and last hybrid we buy. They are simply unsuitable for use in a cold climate. The mild San Diego weather/traffic is a decent match for the vehicle. We'll resume a decent gasoline engine with enough power to tow a small trailer with a couple motorcycles aboard (2500 lbs). Need a 4x4 to handle the snow in our part of the world.
The vehicle never lived up to the mileage claims. Further, the promised $3,000 tax credit turned out to be only $1202 when I actually filed. A goat rope in every way.
The Volt has a gas engine.
Yup. And once a gas engine warms up they run fine, delivering all the heat you want in the passenger compartment. The Volt driver has to choose between economy and comfort on cold days.
