Chevrolet made the Volt with about 55ish miles of electric range before you use gas. They killed it after not ever advertising it and dealerships not wanting to sell them. Served the purpose of 100% electric around town and gas whenever you needed it.
It’s amazing how hard they drove that Volt concept into the ground. My favourite is the concept car they developed to get the government funding vs the car they actually produced. You can’t convince me they didn’t tank it on purpose
100% shot themselves in the foot for quick profits.
It was probably to raise their fleet fuel economy for EPA purposes... so they could sell more inefficient SUVs.
Similarly, Ford built the truly God-awful C-Max which had like 12 miles of electric range...
I was going to buy a Volt for $18k a few years back, until I sat in the seat for ten minutes
I'm tall and trim, 6'3", 170
Seat was rock hard, and the bolsters squeezed the shit out of my hips til they started to ache
Tesla was a no go because no sun shade (I shit you not...the sun just gets to roast the flesh off your face and skull, forcing you to wear a hat at all times), and no spare tire - told the guy to get back to me when they finish making the car
Keeping my 8-cylinder RWD sedan, thanks
