Really. After three years of this claptrap the ranks are getting extremely bored with clunky computer simulations. There is a need to keep sim writers busy which is why we have items like this attempting to construct a conflict out of thin air. Volt runs on flexfuel if it doesn't have electrical charge. So, grow up and choose - you live in an apartment? Don't have an overnight charge ability? Does you workplace provide charge stations? No? Then, for the Lord's sake buy a HEV. In fifteen years when AER is 150 mpc and there are quick charge pedestals at the Seven Eleven and Wendys - it won't matter. Gotto get back to work inventing new problems for my World in Crisis sim. Hey... itsa job! Ho hum. Really. After three years of this claptrap the ranks are getting extremely bored with clunky computer simulations.

Volt runs on flexfuel if it doesn’t have electrical charge. So, grow up and choose – you live in an apartment? Don’t have an overnight charge ability? Does you workplace provide charge stations? No? Then, for the Lord’s sake buy a HEV. In fifteen years when AER is 150 mpc and there are quick charge pedestals at the Seven Eleven and Wendys – it won’t matter.

Gotto get back to work inventing new problems for my World in Crisis sim. Hey… itsa job!

Does crock-a-poo come to mind? The local Soviet will elect a Commissar of Plugs to implement the Central Party strategy of a free plug/free HOV/free parking award for all loyal Party members that drive an (X)EV.

Don't Buy New Gas Cars, Make 'Em Make Electric Vehicles - courtesy of casey. Months ago, these things got put up so many times that some wise a**ed blogger (no names please) suggested turning them into acronyms. #67 Zach:

RA ————————————————————————————– Talk about an obscure subject! Most people know little to nothing about PHEV's or even current EV plans and the most boring subject in the world for them is minutia that occurs at the overlap of utilities, big business and government. Mention it and their eyes glaze over and they dream about ski vacations and they don't hear a word you say. This won't ever register in public perceptions except for the folks who congregate here.
