it is not even close to be good electric car with a driving range of the china made 500$ scooter. it does nothing, but keep you hooked on petrol. So far Renault releases first normal electric car.
Check out the Nissan Leaf. It just seems the car manufacturers have being delaying the inevitable electric cars for a long time. But more are coming out now.
This sounds like an excellent EV especially for the American market! given the distances one has to travel there it needs the backup of a gasoline engine in order to overcome the understandable range anxieties that surround other electric cars like the Nissan leaf! range is going to be an issue in the car capital of the world for a long time to come! GM isn't that far behind really! its not like anyone else has beaten then to market with a viable electric vehicle
@mciceteade I await their move into the EV market! especially the good solid German engineering of BMW! the main news I've heard so far has been from Japanese and American car firms! the US car industry has been in decline for years so if they can steal a march on other countries with EV's they could breathe life into the floundering US car market! the US has a proud automotive history and I really hope they can flourish again!
i love american cars i grew up loving them and i`m proud of the mariner hybrid i got.
bmw has an electric mini cooper, citroen has a model ready this year, i think the us car makers are a little too late.
but i would love to see them come out with some electric only cars not hybrids fully electric hiway speed legal 4 door car like an taurus or something everybody can drive and afford.
instead of a chevy volt overpriced and still a hybrid.
GM destroyed this car with a gas generator. Doesn't GM understand that the kind of people that buy this car never want to see another drop of gasoline in there life?
...as far as charge/range is concerned, Nissan's Leaf is waaaaay ahead... Chevy's Volt has much more agrresive design though. But it's all about taste...
good design good interior but the problem lies in the technology used to power this vehicle .the chinese BYD are promissing a range of 200 miles .nissan leaf and volvo c 30 promisses 100 miles .I guess gm should reconsider that poor range given the fact that asian and swedish competitors seemto have an advance in term of the battery technology .greedy Gm unfortunately conspired so many years ago against ev1 that's sad otherwise we could have reached high levels of technology in ev s t
This vehicle really looks like something retired people would be driving around in. Even cars from the late 60's/early 70's looked much more futuristic than this. It says alot about the type of people in control of the automotive industry.
Best electric car? It's not an electric car, it's a plug-in hybrid. It gets only 40 miles on a charge which is bloody awful. It is expected to cost around $40,000. Nobody in his right mind would buy one.
If this comes out, it will look nothing like it does in the concept images inside and outside. The Chevy Volt will be just like the EV1 except the EV1 was much better and more powerful, efficient.
why best electric car???? TESLA RULZ....the course of the electric cars come back to bite the car companies...toyota...GM..they pull bakc the EV 1 and RAV EV...and now they have problems....
Those Baker electric cars also had a top speed that is a small fraction of the speeds vehicles are usually driven today, and it also probably weighed a small fraction of what cars weigh today. GM blows donkey turds but I think the Volt is a good overall concept.
@Odziz the limiting factor with affordable EVs (i.e. not Tesla Roadsters etc) is range (less than 80 miles usually). To conform to modern comfort and safety standards, cars are bigger and heavier so your Baker Electric argument is redundant. A large percentage of commuters do less than 40 miles a day; electric power will be adequate for this. If you need to go further, the ICE gives the range and convenience you need. A great compromise but they need to refine it.
@Odziz - For the record, I wish GM and everyone else would stop calling the Volt an electric car - it is NOT an electric car! It is a serial hybrid vehicle with plug-in capability only. As long as there is ANY need to use any other fuel than electricity from the battery pack, it is a HYBRID, not an electric vehicle - period! This thing is set up to start the gas engine for any number of reasons automatically (cold weather, low pack voltage, hills, etc). Not anything that I would ever buy. Ken.

How can this be the greatest electric car now ?
It uses a massive lithium ion battery pack and only gets 40 miles per charge.
The Baker Electric only used 6 lead acid batteries and got 110 mile to the charge in 1909.
Most cars with this size lithium ion battery pack would get 250 miles per charge.
So GM have cocked up again just like they did when they crushed one of the greatest electric cars the EV1.
General Morons can go rot in hell for all I care!
