I've been amazed that the Chevy volt isn't selling more units.
You get 53 miles electric and 42 mpg. Unlike the i3 with rex you can go full speed on gas. And unlike the Toyota Prius plugin, the gas engine is purely an electric generator.
The car after incentives and dealer rebates is 20k. GM also offers 0 down 0% financing over 60 months.
It's a great commuter car as the 53 miles is more than enough to get to work. at work you charge up and you've got enough to go home. If you want to go on a road trip you still have the gas engine.
- dangoor 9y agoI've been looking at plugin hybrids recently and the Prius Prime looks to me like an interesting competitor to the Volt (and it's a very different beast from the old Prius plugin). It has half the electric range of the Volt, but it's more efficient and (something that matters to me because we like car camping) has more cargo room. The Prius Prime gets a full charge in 5.5 hours on 120v. Regardless, these both seem like awesome cars and I'm excited that there are cars that give you both electric drive every day and the ability to go as far as you want using gasoline.
- tartuffe78 9y agoI can't imagine buying something for 20k that has that little versatility compared to a gas powered car. I drive 40 miles round trip everyday, but beyond that it would be a hunk of metal that I have no use for.
