I dont mind to get this car if the engine charges the power to the battery but why actually cant ?!?!?

Lots of bla bla marginal information and lots of Video.

What does this car consume if I want drive my 80Km to my work.

Nevertheless I want to drive Home = 160 Km = 100 Miles.

Reminds me of the Westinghouse Hybrid car from the 30s, all electric with a gas generator.

prius have perfected the parallel system

12 years on the roads and over 1.75 million sold worldwide over a "DECADE"

for less than HALF the cost of the volt

is the Volt proven? NOT ! remember GMs Firsts? their Duds

It's about time someone produced a series hybrid. Same method diesel-electric trains have used for decades.

This allows the engine/charging system to be tuned for max efficiency instead of a compromise for performance across a wide RPM range like is need when driving the wheels directly.

This is very interesting, hopefully this will sve GM, im not a GM fan but this is an interesting car. Id like to see more of this.

thank you for calling it a HYBRID

as GM Bob Lutz does NOT want to call it one.

PHEV=plug in "HYBRID" electric vehicle

this is the correct description of the VOLT
