[TylenolPmPower]

Looks like my electric bill will be going up

[35speedracer1]

@TylenolPmPower costs a 1.50 to "top off"

This is Android 3.0....

i will never drive an electric car dumbest idea ever, u know how fast the battery would drain with 4 passengers on a big hill? its already bad enough that it can only travel 40 miles on charge lol pathetic waste of technology

[KhyronDesintegrado]

@wallen2k9 ,, you can drive it on gas powered mode

[heartlessvietboy]

Beats you. If you don't want to drive $.02 cents a mile, $2.75 to Fully Charge Go Drive your Gasoline car. Were cleaning up the Planet.

[sexybitchdog]

so it uses gas? *_*

[KhyronDesintegrado]

NO

but it has the capability

[TomatoMultiMedia]

the future is now (almost...). cant wait to get my hands on one of these!

[pinkzombie]

Too nice. Driver will put their eyes on the screen rather on the road.

[hoganik89]

hopefully it doesn't run on microsoft's based system LOL

[KhyronDesintegrado]

@hoganik89 XD jaja.. you are going down hill and all of the sudden : "brakes are unresponding, do you want to close program?"

[xxjr963xx]

@hoganik89 Haha nice!

[ErwinTheAfrican]

so is this only electric or hybrid?

[drphotographer]

@ErwinTheAfrican GM is calling it an EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) the car uses electric provided by the battery for the first forty miles, once the battery is depleted the gasoline generator turns on to power the electric motor and to keep the battery within at certain state of charge.

[jeffzahnd]

now if they would only make it to where you can simply drive onto a charging pad in your garage and it auto hookup and disconnect....i'm sold

[Giratgard]

what if someone breaks into the car and turns it on and they steal it

[truckinjeff]

I'm sure they'll be using keyfobs like may other cars with push button start.

[AVEOGTI787]

Is the near future.... pure technology!
