In 2011, the BBC did an article on driving an EV Mini from London to Edinburgh, Scotland, in just four DAYS. In 1830, the express coach between the two cities got job done in two days with 50 stops to change horses (2 minutes per stop). The total time the coach was idle was about 1.5 hours out of 48.
Go here for the details of this electric vehicle adventure in impracticality: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/8262095/London-to-Edinburgh-by-electric-car-it-was-quicker-by-stagecoach.html
"Up to" are the key words here.
Blah blah blah.
This is more old style nonsense.
The VOLT is actually a unique car, in that it runs on gas or batteries.
It’s not yet efficient, but I give the VOLT praises for the combination.
The VOLT will be improved, and will continue to approach a good marketing cross at some time.
Not this thing.
I had an ‘89 Jetta diesel that would go 750+ miles on a full tank. I bought it for $250 with 100K miles on it and drove it another 200K miles with no major repairs. Most practical car I’ve ever owned.
How much tax dollars will they get for this one??
