Additional work? Limp,
Additional work? Limp, obviously you have never owned an EV.
As an EV owner I never go to the shop for oil changes. I never stop at the gas station.. It takes 10 seconds to plug in an EV each night and 5 to unplug it. That's 1.5 hors per year. if you fill up your car once a week at 5 minutes a stop.. that's 4.3 hours.. You get an oil change at least twice a year. Add another hour. So me, the EV owner spends 1.5 hours a year, in his comfortable garage doing all that "additional work" plugging and unplugging.. the normal gas car owner has to be outside, maybe it's raining, maybe snowing, maybe cold, filling up his car and waiting in line at the oil change station.
My 60 communte cost me $1.80 in electricity. The gas cost for the same communte. $9.50 (@24 mpg)..
The Volt is not a pure EV (unless you drive less than 40 miles a day).. but it is close for many drivers.
