[QUOTE="gonefshn, post: 315540, member: 380"] Had a Volt which is a combo vehicle at work a few years ago. Personally, I really like the vehicle. The weight of the battery made it nice in the winter on icy highways. In the summer I'd make it from 35-38 miles on the battery. In the winter about 20-25 as you'd have the lights on, heat on, and I'm sure the winter knocked it's power down. The gas backup got about 35mpg. On days I didn't use it another employee who just worked in town used it. He wouldn't use any gas at all since he'd rarely put on enough miles. One thing he found was in town he had to be really careful if kids were riding bikes and such. The vehicles are so quiet kids would walk or turn right in front of him. I think they're like all things and have a place for certain people. With battery technology getting better all the time, there may be a day they're feasible for us who live up here and travel a lot, but they're certainly not there yet. And if this is the direction the country plans to go, we better get our $hit together when it comes to our power grid. Vehicles are going to use a lot more power than our homes and our systems could in no way handle this influx of need. [/QUOTE]
