[quote=Coronita][quote=The-Shoveler]I like the Prius, but I wish it had more room in the trunk like some Prius-V’s.
I like the Idea of not having to keep searching for a charging station or trying to schedule enough time to make sure I can get to my destinations.
If I had an EV I think I would want to have a second car hybrid probably just in case.[/quote]
I’m not convinced that EV is the end all solution … I think there will have to be some improvement to ICE engines and fuel.[/quote]
I had bought a Prius prime plug in hybrid about 3 years ago. Got wrecked. Anyway it was awesome in terms of combination. Almost all my trips I used less than the 28 mile battery. Recharged overnight on regular plug. Sometimes I wouldn’t get gas for a month or two. Was only like 19k after tax credit. Wish I still had it. Didn’t replace at the time. For some reason insurance paid out 28k
I used to be gaming the battery and when I was almost home, I’d be as excited as world cup level like I’d make it home without using gas. Driving super efficiently. Praying to the Lord for fair tailwinds. My wife thought my drama over this was insufferably idiotic. If the engine kicked in a few blocks from home, I’d be cursing and banging the steering wheel like I’d lost 5k at blackjack
Kinda dumb I know. But I actually found it fun. I guess I’m hard to live with. Good thing I’m not in the dating pool.
