Trying to drive “green” in Zihuatanejo

I have been driving Prii since 2004, because it was the least GHG emissions I could produce while driving then. I have been very happy with my Prii for 17 years

But the Prius is still an ICE vehicle with only battery assistance. Every drive I took would be emitting GHG. I’m working on getting as close to GHG neutral as possible.

Up north, I’ll be selling my current Prius soon, having replaced it with a BEV. I had hoped to do the same in Mexico, but that seems impractical. So far the only BEV I have found in Mexico that I recognize is Tesla. The cost would be at least a million pesos. The nearest Tesla service location would be in Mexico City. I’m no longer a big fan of 600+ kilometre drives and I sure wouldn’t want to pay for a 600+ km tow. ???? A used 2019 Volt could be under M$500k.

The Volt is essentially the opposite of a Prius. It is an EV that first runs on battery. When the battery is depleted, a gasoline engine kicks in, not as a propelling mechanism for the car, but to produce electricity to supply the electric motors.
