| Comment | I am the proud owner of a 2000 Honda Insight and my husband drives a recent Prius. Soon after I bought my Insight, I joined a meet-up of hybrid and EVs at Griffith Park in LA. I was impressed by the EVs, but their "owners" were all in mourning that their Leases soon would be up and not renewable. When I saw the movie "Who killed the electric car?" I was devastated over what had become of these beautiful, efficient and patriotic cars! Now it is time to bring them back. Please require that all future hybrids be plug-ins. That would have made our own hybrids perfect! Most of our trips are very short. The longest is driving 40 miles to a concert in LA. I think only on longer road trips would we even need gasoline. (I realize that the Insight uses electricity differently and would need further adaptation to be able to be a plug-in. But I understand that Honda is re-introducing the Insight, so they should be required to make this possible. |
