The future car on the hybrid motor should not cost much, differently there is no future at this Car. Grants will not help. Many see the future for car YO-AUTO from Russia which will be is made in 2012, the revolutionary decision both in the price and in manufacture.
I love the Volt, but for one he says 2x you can go long range on electricity only... and also it probably is going to be in showrooms by the end of the year, but don't expect to be able to buy one, since they are going to produce very few cars not to loose money.
No spark plugs, no crankshaft, no gearbox, no antifreeze, no fan, no camshaft, no oil filter, no air filter, no pistons, no crankcase, no intake manifold, no muffler, no exhaust header, no tailpipe, no fuel injection, no carburetor, no timing belt, no water pump, no PVC valve, no rocker arms. Cool! Less stuff to breakdown.
So basically...what they're telling us is the advancements in battery technology have gone backwards significantly since over 10 years ago? Didn't the EV1 get like 100+ miles? Way to go GM!
I would say "good job", but they had the EV1 10 years ago, and crushed them! This is more like "it's about time", more than "good job". I hope the Volt is not a hoax, or a 1 year wonder this time.
@dragon64leo The Battery Technology was NOT available 10 years ago or even 5 years ago. The EV1 could NOT pass Department of Transportation Crash Tests. The EV1 was ALL Electric which is not practical. The Chevy Volt/ Opel Ampera is an EREV (extended range electric vehicle). GM lost tons of money on EV1. Honda & Toyota didn't follow suit. Nobody killed the electric car, it was DOA.
The starting price on a Prius is $22K. The Volt is rumored to be around $40K. Most people who are interested in "eco" cars really don't have $40K to blow on a Volt. Also, GM cars have a history of unreliability.
The $25K Nissan Leaf is a superior vehicle. The Nissan Leaf was winner of the 2010 Green Car Vision Award by the Green Car Journal. Time magazine called the Nissan Leaf one of the 50 best inventions of 2009.
@TranCendenZ You basically do not know what you are talking about. The Leaf is an all electric or BEV. The Volt is an EREV. Big Difference! The Volt can go 40 miles all electric- which is about what 80% of the public does daily. But after that it converts over to a ICE generator which supplies electricity for the Motor. The Leaf is unpractical in hot or cold weather. Plenty of people will buy the Volt even @ $40K. The price will come down as more units are sold.

The big Oil corporations are trying their best to stop free energy ideas from spreading to common ppl.
We need to put an end to this corruption ,start generating your own electricity now.

its an electric vehicle that has a gasoline motor like a diesel electric train that runs 100% electric
GM does not want to call it a hybrid [PHEV] they call it EREV
an electric vehicle that needs oil change a spark plug and tune ups

Ford Focus will have 100 mile range, so will Nissan Leaf methinks. Chevy is part of Government Motors.

why do we keep holding on to gas, extend the range with a bedini motor.
is that so hard?

Electric vehicles are simpler.
No spark plugs, no crankshaft, no gearbox, no antifreeze, no fan, no camshaft, no oil filter, no air filter, no pistons, no crankcase, no intake manifold, no muffler, no exhaust header, no tailpipe, no fuel injection, no carburetor, no timing belt, no water pump, no PVC valve, no rocker arms.
