Toyota might have sold more Prius C units in three days than the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt combined, but the latter has the support of the men in uniform. Bob Tanner of Toms River, New Jersey, who served twice in Iraq as a Marine, has recently become a Volt owner.
According to GM’s release, Tanner has cut his monthly commuting costs by two-thirds: from $300 to under $100 by charging nightly.
“I also love that when I’m in full electric mode, it’s so quiet – I call it my vehicular ninja,” Tanner said. “And the way the cockpit is set up; I feel as though I’m inside my own video game.”
“In my old car, I was filling up about every four days. Now I’m filling up twice a month, and getting around 640 miles to the tank, which is fantastic,” said Tanner. “Another big decision (to drive an electric vehicle) was the fact that I’d be using less gas. Having fought overseas twice, I have strong opinions on oil and its effects on international politics and policies.”
Guess GM doesn’t agree to foreign oil either!
