It's among economy cars....and it excels at EVERYTHING expected of an economy car. |
Its still not more economical on those long trips, nor are regular hybrids to a sub-compact. When an EV goes over 300 miles per charge and costs 25k max I'll be interested. A 35 to 50 mile full EV range with something like 35 to 40 MPG doesn't save me any money a long haul. My average commute round trip is 180 miles, I need the best car for the job and its not the Volt.
