Jerry Hirsch, an auto writer for the LA Times, recently wrote an article on the payback times of the Volt and LEAF. http://lat.ms/GDoCmb" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
As with many of these articles, he compared the LEAF to a Versa and the Volt to the Cruze. I wrote to him explaining that this is a false comparison since the Versa and Cruze were not even close to the plug-in versions in quality and functionality. He thought I made a good point and wanted to know what cars would compare. Since I've been driving an EV for over 9 years, I have no idea what ICE vehicles are true comparisons to the Volt and LEAF. Jerry wants to revisit this issue in a subsequent article, so he asked me to give him some ideas of vehicles that would legitimately compare to the plug-ins.
Do any of you have some good choices for me to give him?
