Jack, I own 3 diesels, jetta, beetle, and a Dodge.
I just got used to the brute torque and the muscle, not to mention the mileage.
Am actually afraid of most late model gas as they are just to high strung, and yes diesel is expensive to fix but some trade offs,
Am not against electric, just not sure when you looks up the freeway in the morning for miles and wonder???, if all these were electric, who is supplying all that power.
I live in WA, lots of dams and some wind, but actually most of our power comes out of BC, and we ship ours to the land of CARB. But in NY and such imagine most of it is NG, coal, , don't quote me.
But actually like PRIUS and Camry HB, and thought that coupled with a 70HP diesel would have been the deal. I know a leaf only has a range of 125, and on 120, takes 20 hours, and on 240, 4 hours, just does not compute. Any thoughts?
