Stop Light Speech

I had my first Stoplight (Elevator) speech this morning. That was fun.

I was stopped and a car pulls up on the driver side. Guys points to my car with his window down. So, I open (roll) my window (down) and he ask how I like the car. Told him I loved it. He then points to the charge port door and ask if that is where you put the fuel in. I said no, that was for the electric, the gas was on the other side. He was surprised by that. Guess he didn't realize it was both electric and gas. I then proceeded to tell him that I am currently getting 260+mpg. He had a big surprised smile on his face. He said that he was looking to get one. He liked how sharp the car looked. I told him about the electric range in winter (30) and what I am currently getting (50+).

Then the light turned green.

Sadly I had lots of those speeches 2 years ago when I bought my Volt, but rarely do I get one now.

My last one was an old man who saw me back out of a spot in a parking lot (he was by the front bumper) and said, "Really, that works?" Since I drove off, I could only speculate that he was impressed by EV.
