WOW, look, another car that uses fuel that the oil barons can manufacture, monopolize, and enslave us with. My god people, do you not realize that if we develop electric vehicles, the electricity you put into the car could eventually be produced on your own roof. Using the current electric grid an EV typically gets 10 to 20 times the distance from $1.00 worth of elec. then a gas car can get from $1.00 worth of gas. Think about it, that's a 90% to 95% savings.
Hopefully peak oil will remove those cars off the road due to unaffordable fuel prices. Maybe the street racers will see the empty highway as a golden opportunity to build fast EVs and use it as their own private race track. One can dream.
hey! this is on the 405 south in LB! lol [= i love the rav4 ev.. its too bad that toyota stopped making it.. im sure that by now toyota could of come up with an improved ev by now! -__-...
GM claims that they can't make the Volt because the batteries "don't yet exist". They admit it's not difficult to make the rest of the car (although they don't yet have a motor, other than golf-cart, for the VOLT).
Lutz personally denied that these batteries suffice for the VOLT, able to do 40 miles. While Nick Z. admits that the VOLT is just an EV with a genset tacked on.
When, When, When did General Motors say that 'these cars don't exist'??? Although I have not doubt that an electric car is an excellent choice for daily commuting, I would much rather have my Trans Am as a second vehicle.
The demolition of the EV1 program really fucked GM. They had the technology 10 years ago.

"Look at all these cars, everyone of them is unnecessary. Every one of them could be an electric car"
So true.
