<prompt> Human: I know I know, its a Chevy but hear me out. Used Volts are 7995 and up. It runs on an electric motor for 40 miles and then switches to gas. Depending on your commute, this means most of you should be able to commute on electric alone. A full charge is only 10.4kwh and in my area thats only about .90 to go 40 miles.So while its a Chevy, its basically an electric Chevy.. and its hard for much to go wrong with an electric motor. Electric motors require next to no maintainance, so the maintainance costs are substantially lower. Only thing youll have to occasionally maintain is the generator. Its been a year since our last oil change... Because the generator doesnt run unless you run out of charge it keeps track of your oil life, were still at 45. That means you save on filters spark plugs too as they wont be used as much. Theres no transmission, so no worries about any transmission fluid changes or problems. The list goes on and on.Its an amazing car and is surprisingly affordable used. We love it so much we recently bought a second. We are saving hundreds of a month compared to my Tacoma between the gas and payments while helping the environment at the same time. I thought Id pass on our financial savings we found from it and put it out there as a very frugal car.  <response>: While I mean this in the best possible way, OP is somewhat in denial here, and making a number of tenuous and outright false claims here.This is not an electric car; its a plug-in hybrid. It has a gasoline engine and something that would be considered a transmission. If you wanted an electric car, you could get a Nissan Leaf, for example.The assumed pricing on the vehicle 7995 and up is starting with an unrealistically low value, so something of a bait and switch.The claimed savings on repairs and maintenance costs is not consistent with published information, and makes a number of pretty bold claims, such as cost to replace a battery is 500, when the reason that electric cars have limited range in the first place is the batteries are expensive. Citing an anecdotal online part cost is not the same as the cost to a typical person to get the work done. Im all for people providing useful information, but its better when the information is also accurate.
