The article says Leaf owners drove more ELECTRIC miles, Volt owners drove more miles overall. This could be the case for example if all Volt owners do not keep their battery packs charged up to maximize their electric miles, and/or regularly take longer trips where the vehicle runs much of the trip on gas. I expect the latter, and that that is the reason they chose a Volt.
This will be a moot point when 200 range evs and adequate L3 charging for longer trips are available. But for now, and for a while yet, the Volt definitely has an advantage for people who own only one car. Seems like a good solution to me in that case, with its 50+ mile all electric range. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Re-EVLN-EV-vs-pih-Who-is-really-saving-the-world-tp4679169p4679171.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
