I'm not advocating this, but why?
Electric cars don't pay anything.
If I put a diesel generator into a Chevy Volt, I can use red diesel.
Well, I assume. Why can't I put red diesel into... sorry, most hybrids
can engage the combustion motor for movement.... a factory version of a
Volt with a diesel?
I know one is legal and one is not, but they're basically the same
thing, just one comes with the generator and the other doesn't.
