California gubmint sez ... You can't buy a gas powered car ... also ... You can't plug in your electric car
🧠 These people are stupid!
And THAT is exactly the scheme.
California will suffer an energy shortage and “Flex Alerts” through Labor Day due to high temperatures, and residents will be asked to conserve electricity during afternoons and evenings, which means refraining from charging electric vehicles, among other uses.
Does a hybrid help?
You don't have to plug in a Toyota Prius.
We used to own one but got rid of it when gas was under $2.00/gallon here in Texas.
I miss it personally. Was a great car for running errands and got ~42-50 MPG. If it wasn't for my wife's back surgery, I doubt we'd have switched to an SUV.
Thankfully, I work at home so I'm not racking up a ton of miles.
I have a Nissan Versa Note and I get about 38 mpg in city driving. If I was content to go 55 on the highway, it would get 50+ mpg. At 70, it gets about 38 :) (although I've never driven far enough at a constant 40mpg, to do the measurement, according to the mpg gage, it would get about 60mpg at 40mph)
Right? Why don't they all plug in their EVs like the Ford ad says and power the grid in reverse?
I thought a Hybrid charges its own batt, where as a plug-in hybrid (as in the name) needs pluging in
