You can probably get your dogs into this:

Not such great mileage but better than what you have now.

Not suitable for my location.

Then change your location. Permanently.

Will they lie about the mileage too?

Yes, all the electric car manufacturers lie about mileage.

Rich was alluding to the recent emissions testing scandal, dumb@$$.

In real world driving you always get somewhat less than they can get under ideal conditions. Same is true of gas vehicles. The word is YMMV. I'm happy to get 80 - 90% of what is claimed and really don't expect more.

I have obtained consistently better mileage than advertised with each of my cars. Must have something to do with the skill of the driver.

Yes, the Volt seems like an excellent design.

Well, except for the government subsidies and bailouts.

Just need an AWD crossover version!

No, you don't.

At least that will circumvent pollution testing.

What you meant to say was "I don't want to use mass transit."

Nope. I love using mass transit. I do so whenever I'm someplace where
it's available.

There is no reason to conclude that any human has more or fewer such natural rights as any other, therefore such natural rights are equal rights and must exist.

Then you should have no problem with using it in NYC.

It's available in Colorado Springs:

So name some places where mass transit is "required," peterson.

You are. "Change your location," is advice that I am giving to a known hypocrite... YOU.
