Separate names with a comma.
MPGe is a fairly useless metric, only good for comparing one Ev car to another. Combing MPG and MPGe is a totally useless thing to do because...
I just have the presentation. The source is listed as "NHTS 2001". Volt will lose on that one except in certain special situations (just the...
The rule-of-thumb is that 2/3 of all vehicle miles traveled are on round-trips of under 40 miles. Efficient how? In terms of gasoline usage on...
If TCO is all you care about, then a 10-15 year old $2,000 daily beater is your best bet. Obviously that's not either the stated goal by the...
