In response to "partially? 95% of my annual driving is within the electric range of the volt. That's substantially more than "partially". -- nm" by Beryllium

Because that last 5% is a long way to walk. -- nm - Ender Aug 9, 11:33
What happens when the charge runs out then? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:29 10
- Exactly, I won't risk that. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 9, 11:30 9
  - I'm certainly not supporting it. I'm just saying if 95% of your driving is within that range, it seems like a cheap alternative. - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:38 7
    - Yeah, the range would have to be huge for all-electric; alternatively, the charge time would have to be instantaneous. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:41 4
      - "This is our new 200,000V instantaneous charge station. For your safely, please remove your clothing, jewelry and fillings before entering." -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 11:46 1
        
        "... or they will be removed on your behalf." -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:47
      - Well, not necessarily instantaneous. But not much longer than a gas fillup. 5 minutes would be nice. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:44 1
        
        I'd settle for 30. If you're driving somewhere longer than 500 miles, you can stop for lunch/dinner and charge your car. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:46
    - yeah -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:39
    - Word to the IM -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 9, 11:39
  - blah enter key.. this car isn't for families with only 1 car. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 9, 11:31
Well, mostly because I'm not in the market for a new car - the current one is too small as is :) - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:27
