But it is better than a pure gasoline car, yes? For many people a full electric car neither practical nor affordable, whereas a hybrid is both.
Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
- dragontamer 10y agoI'd argue yes, the Volt is better at its price range. But even the Volt's $25k+ new price (after credits) is above-and-beyond what is practical and affordable to the typical American. "Practical and Affordable" is used vehicles, and maybe the $15k Honda Fit / Ford Focus / Toyota Corolla / similar cars. EVs aren't anywhere close to competing against the daily-driver for the typical American. They need another $10,000 off or so. For now, electric vehicles have to mask the costs and add a bunch of luxury features (that don't really cost much money) to kinda-fake a better experience. When we see a barebones electric model under $16k, I'll know they finally made it.
