and if you can plug it in on the other end too, you're golden.

But *having* to plug it in somewhere other than home is a deal breaker for a lot of people. - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:27 8
- that's a good point - znufrii Jul 27, 10:28 5
  - I don't see the problem. Just run it on gas until you get to plug -- nm - JD Jul 27, 10:41 4
    - Yeah, an incremental improvement is better than no improvement. - musubi, adorable Jul 27, 10:44 1

    - for people who don't have regular access to a plug...have to park on the street or what have you... - znufrii Jul 27, 10:43 1
      - If you don't have a garage this absolutely is not the car for you. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 10:48
- Then it runs on gas the way back. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:28 1
  - (which is my major issue with the "all electric" vehicles.) - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:32
Per Chevy 75% of people have a commute of less than 40 miles per day. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 10:26 13
- My round trip is 30 miles, and I live in the biggest city in the continental US. - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:27
- 25% of people have a commute of more than 40 miles per day? - TFox Jul 27, 10:27 10
  - Seems low. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 27, 10:27 9
    - Seems mad high to me. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 10:28 8
      - I wouldn't be surprised if a larger percentage commutes >40mi in Southern Cal. - musubi, adorable Jul 27, 10:31
      - depends if they're talking 40 miles each way, of 40 round-trip - znufrii Jul 27, 10:29 3
        
        It's one-way, it's based on a DOT survey. -- (link) - Ender Jul 27, 10:33 2
        
        Wait, I didn't say what I meant to say. I meant it's 40 miles round trip, 20 miles one-way. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 10:34 1
        
        I was gonna say... - znufrii Jul 27, 10:35
      - Isn't RI like 10 miles wide, though? :) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 10:28 1
        
        a whopping 37 miles! and that's the short way! - TFox Jul 27, 10:32
      - (but i also live in a very small place, so what do i know.) -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 10:28
- I'd rather base it on time, cause 40 miles could take 4 hours in some places...\ -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 10:26
