We used to call those plug-in hybrids. An all-electric range of <40 miles is a joke, especially when an 80-mile Nissan Leaf costs 50% less.

- brightball 11y agoIt's less than 40 miles because most people drive 35 or less in a day. Then its range at 37mpg is about 280 between fill ups. I probably put gas in every 3-4 months when I had mine. At one point when I was driving the engine came on and ran simply for maintenance because it hadn't been used for so long. The only time I ever used gas was if I needed to drive out of state or across the state for holidays with the family. I could have bought a Leaf to go 80 miles...and then stop for the day.
- dublinben 11y agoThe difference in cost will more than pay for a rental car a couple times a year. You sound like an SUV owner who pays for more vehicle than they need 99% of the time, because they might need to drive on a dirt track some time.
- chc 11y agoWhere are you getting this difference in cost? The MSRP for the Leaf ($29k) is only 13% less than the Volt ($33k).
