Wow this cartoon is so mis-informed it is almost unbelievable. Apparently this refers to the “Volt” a new plug-in hybrid vehicle that can go 40 miles on battery power, then automatically switches on the gasoline engine to continue with a range comparable to any other car. There is no 40 mile range limit, no cords. The point is that electric driving only costs the same as gasoline at roughly $0.75 per gallon. Since my commute is about 30 miles round trip, like most people this car would be great for me.
