If you're not ready to make the jump, the Volt gets to play electric car for most journeys, kicking over to being a fuel efficient hybrid for long ones. The Gen 1 is cheap right now, and gets around 42 electric miles in the summer, 35 in the winter. The newer ones have increased range.
- davisr 10y agoI have a 2013 Volt, and in the summer I actually get around 55 miles to the charge, one just needs to learn to be less aggressive with the accelerator (there's an indicator on the dash that helps with this).
- gbrown 10y agoI started out by doing that, but now I just ignore it and drive as usual. The 42 mile range is enough to get to and from work (my wife and I actually carpool, and she can charge it for free at work).
