Looking at something for my wife. Any experience either good or bad with these new hybrid/electric cars? Usually only 30 miles per day driving or less.
Don't want an electric 914, I like the one I have with an aircooled engine. Tom |

QUOTE(markyb @ Feb 26 2012, 11:52 AM)  I thought that I just read that the Volt now gets the commuter lane option due to a special mod to their car, does the Prius not qualify now? Volts qualify because they are a partial all electric car, which his different from "most" Prius's (Priui?) that the electric is more of a "helper" motor. Hardly anyone knows the yellow HOV sticker in California ended last July so even if you have one, you can get pulled over and receive that wonderful ~$400 ticket. Luckily for them, most cops dont realize it either. There is an ongoing program for CNG and partial/all electric vehicles until 2015 I believe To the OP, make sure you check with your utility if they do get a plug in electric because most utilities give a reduced rate. |
