drake 17/19. volt is Not a plug in hybrid, stop trying to muddy the waters with your japanese bullsh*t. and where did you get 2012 or later. no one has said that, get your sh*t together jackass.
8 or 9 miles by the prius is a joke. lmao @ drake and his com padres gxt, john1700 and guy, lol…

better run! the sky is falling, the sky is falling, lol.

i’ve said this a hundred times (exaggerating), even if the volt never sees the light of day, it’s still pushing the electric car thing.
it’s even got guys like the ones in my first paragraph so nervous, that they come on here and lie to try to stop it, lol..

The lack of understanding differences between the “full” and “series” hybrid types is clearly becoming a problem.

MPG BOOST is the purpose of the battery upgrade & plug for a “full” hybrid. So even at speeds above 62 MPH, there is still a decent efficiency improvement.

I don’t care who makes it but I am adamant that my next car be a serial hybrid. The allure of instant torque, perfectly smooth acceleration, and silent operation is just too much. If I have to keep the speed under 62 and stress out over how much I’m pressing the throttle, as with a plug-in Prius, then I’m not interested. At that point it’s a glorified golf cart.

Also, the Prius is bad enough already with its 11.5 second 0-60 time and always-on brakes. They are clogging up the highways where I live driving 50 MPH. Now things are only going to get worse with owners trying to maximize their electric-only range.
