many Chevy Volt owners report going
1000.plus miles on a 10 gallon tank.
Where did they get the electricity to charge batteries, and which fossil/nuclear fuel was used to generate the electricity are the pertinent questions.
They prolly live in milder climates [ie: northern CA], where they don't have to ue wipers, heaters, A/C and such much. Also aren't driving great distances [ie: <10 miles per trip]. And, are they "topping off" the battery each night with a charge?
Good for the Chevy Volt owners. Only problem is they get their electricity from traditional fuel. That 10 gallons of gas came from somewhere. Those batteries won’t last forever either.
BTW, not knocking the volt, I would just like to see how well it does in some serious weather for six months. The technology is not quite “there” yet.
I am in California and actually saw my first Volt on the highway. Was on the 101 by Ventura. See tons of Priuses here but that’s my first Volt.
