Our electric grid won’t handle every one having one of these rolling death traps....I’m getting about 30 mpg in my Corolya in city.

I agree. I have a 2 year old Corolla and get 30 mpg overall. I'll probably put at least 150,000 miles on the car before trading in for another one (or something similar). The car is comfortable even on long trips. Maintenance is affordable. So the cost of ownership is very reasonable. I don't have to turn off the heat or AC to get good mileage. I cannot imagine why anybody would buy a Volt.

Especially if you have a nearly 50 year old home like I have, wiring won’t handle it. And it has been upgraded at least once. Hubby is an electronics guy. But at 70 I don’t want him taking on the prospect of trying to upgrade it again. We are at our limit now.
