I refer to a Volt as a Plug-in hybrid . There are a few other brands , also .

The used Volts I saw on line were too pricey . The other brands pretty much non-existent in my neck of the woods .

Chevy sells the Spark EV as a compliance vehicle in California and 2 - 3 other states . None of them , used , were closer than 800 - 1200 miles away & you would have to tow it home or ship it . :-(

I do not think our little 2015 Chevy Sonic 1.8l automatic has the beans to tow a Spark EV home .

Had my Wifey plug the Level 2 EVSE in & start charging it . This last weekend I crawled through our dusty , dirty attic ( with rock wool insulation ) to run # 8 / 2 W/G Romex for a 40 amp 240 VAC circuit to the EVSE .

God bless
