Electricity rate is generally quite a bit cheaper, though, and remember maintenance cost of a gas car with the oil changes and other fluid changes. Remember that not everyone DIY, and absolutely, if you don't drive many km every year, there won't be savings. Quote:
Plug-in hybrid solves your last two scenarios in the first paragraph. Not pure EV, sure, but close enough. The ICE is there just in case for those unexpected uses. Battery degradation will probably depend on how much you drive. If you don't use much battery every day just for your usual commuting, you won't be cycling the battery as much as it won't degrade very quickly. IMO hybrid is good for people who want more flexibility while still wanting to spend less on gas. I also don't agree how quickly governments are pushing EVs without thinking about the implications of them. For a fun car, I would not consider an EV. That electric motor whining isn't nearly as pleasant to listen to as a V8. Sent from toaster or something

I remembering back then driving my dad's volt on some occasions, it got solid fuel economy and I think between 30-40 miles of range out of the battery. On the occasions we didn't charge it you could just fill up. Was a cool car, I do miss it. It leased for cheap at that time. |

As stated by GM brass, "This logo is meant to be more inclusive.".
I'm not certain what this means exactly, but the new logo looks very effeminate. JMHO.

I don't even understand what that means. The logo is more inclusive? Of what?

It must have been scaring the other companies with its two large capital letters

BS, aka corporate virtue signaling at its worst. Probably some PR/legal folks came up with trendy verbiage that must be presented with a certain frequency to maximize prospect acceptance. Needless to say, the target audience is unlikely to be the majority of camaro6 members.
