Roadfly.com - Chevrolet Volt Concept Car from NAIAS

[emforty2]

not only that its 4 times the cost of a Fiat that gets better fuel economy.

this technology is nothing new diesel-electric trains use the same thechnology the last 60 years only thing new on this is they put an lithium battery to start with.

[ciurez]

It means that they w'll put 1.4 litre gasoline engine in the car(hahahahaha).I got in my Fiat Bravo 1.4 litre engine 90 HP,60 MPG hiway speed and 35 MPG in city... Fuel eficient car!!! Volt is a fake!!!! Make it full electric!!! Like Tesla!!!That is the car!!! Wake up America!!! Greatings from Romania

[seahorse7777]

I would pay $50K and even more for the Volt. It is well designed and electric Cars are the future.

Support the wonderful American Country, support American Cars. The Volt is an outstanding concept.

The best thing would be,

if I could get the Volt instantly.

[emforty2]

good for you but for the rest of us we can barely afford a $14,000 car

go ahead put the $5,000 down payment for it to secure your spot in getting one 2 years from now !

good luck ! and i mean it !

[begley9]

Like all cars the price will go down after a couple years, don't be so against it. Car companies all over have cars that are well above $50k. It's not something out of the ordinary, just look at Mercedes and BMW. It''s a new concept.

[emforty2]

GM didnt drag towards the Volt Hybrid. they are fighting for their existense thats why.

if gas was $2 a gallon today the Volt will not exist and just be a concept of the imagination !

HUMMERS anyone ?

[spakdiddy]

well gas is going south of $1.80 and the recession is just getting started so it might go all the way to $1.50 again. We will see if the car still has appeal by the time it comes out.

[dahur1]

I just think GM could come out with it before 2 1/2 years from now if they really wanted to. It's like they're being dragged towards it. But something is better than nothing.

I hate to think what gas will cost by time this car hits the streets.

[Flextreem]

dahur

Haha, that is totally not the case, believe me. They're struggling to meet their 2010 deadline... the devil is in the batteries...

[emforty2]

yeah its either blame the workers or blame the media and now for the first time blame the battery EXCUSE !!

a 1997 Toyota Rav4 electric could go over 120 miles on a single change that was 11 years ago over a DECADE ago technology folks !

the EV-1 which GM killed did about the same.

this Volt is Worse only 40 miles on a $40K car that doesnt exist and unproven

BTW it has a gasoline engine too !!

[pjkPA]

Great that GM has started the plug in electric race... best interest in a new car in many years.

Anyone who has ever driven a EV1 knows... the EV smile.

[emforty2]

nice "concept"....its good to dream for another 3 years if it even comes out by the time its probably obsolete

GMs desperate...what a pity !!

[pjkPA]

Great video... great car... can't wait.

Best concept to date.

[1Ali380]

Slow car, better buy a Toyota yaris!

[pjkPA]

I drove the Yaris... the VOLT will blow the doors of the Yaris and get twice the gas milage!

[2video]

Lionev, a company on the east coast of the U.S., is advertising two new 100% plug-in EVs with a range of up to 400 miles with a cost of around $40,000. (US). Is this competition for the Volt?

[2video]

Detroit area newspapers report production of the Volt has been assigned to a plant in southeast Michigan. New lithium batteries are being installed in test vehicles this fall (2007). Lithium was chosen for higher energy storage capacity and lower weight. Looks like a genuine effort this time around.

[tribluered]

You know how GM keeps saying that the battery is the problem. And all those vids that show the Volt driving around. And it makes the weirdest loudest noise. I think they can't even find good engineers to make the electric motor or put all the electric compoents together properly. Since so many people heard about the EV-1 and Cobasys NiMH battery.  I bet all the good engineers wouldn't work for GM. So they ended up hiring retards to put the Volt together. Thats why it is taking so long.

[977166]

Might also be because GM sold the Battery improvement patent from the EV1 batteries to EXXON/MOBIL.. Hmmmm what would a gas company, want with a electric car battery patent......

[liveoilfree]

If they won't allow my video response, look under "Lutz Lies" in my videos.

[liveoilfree]

The Volt is all hype. GM just finished CRUSHING the EV, and even sold the battery patents to Chevron.

[xignite1980x]

Wait two years smartass, your not as intellegent as you think. The only thing sadder is the creatons that believe you

[RogerYang29]

hi I love car chevrolet better that cool buying

[tribluered]

Lithium is the next target on GM's EV assassination list.

[tribluered]

The Chevy Volt is nothing but a publicity stunt.

[tribluered]

I wonder if this is just a way for them to get main stream attention, without actually selling an electric car.

[h2fcell]

There is a question being asked to GM shareholders on Yahoo! Answers.

If you own GM stock, go to "Yahoo! Answers" and search for "GM Shareholder proposal for action vote?"

[h2fcell]

If GM's only source of income were from electric hybrids like the Chevy Volt, they'd be making millions of them. "Stop buying or leasing NEW gasoline powered cars". See my vids.

[defacea]

Whoever wants the electric car to return, please go to the chevrolet website and vote to introduce the chevrolet volt as a production model.

[hlewka36]

when you look at the back end of it head on...it looks fucked up. in my opinion, that rear end doesnt match the front of the car...thats the only thing that should change.

[MrPwnag3]

i agree. the entire car looks awesome... until you see the lame prius-like back end

[vjxmass]

poor

[hugns]

Chevy, You NEED to produce this e-flex chevy Volt! Don't screw this up and miss this one. I will be one of your first customers!

[AirsoftinInTheHeazy]

i would only buy one if they put a 454 in it or at least a 427 in it

[psykodragon1]

You know they are never going to make this car. They would lose to much money on it. The reason you can figure it out is because they say they don't have a battery that can go 40 miles which is bull. Look up the Tesla, it can go 250 with the same battery that the volt is using and it doesn't have a motor to recharge it.

[gregoryw1234]

Kinda right psykodragon1. .To sell it resonably priced they would probally loose money at first. 20-30k is probally top price to sell many one. Tesla over 100k. Tesla holds 2 people the Volt 4or5. Hills and cold weather would clobber that 250 mile range.You have to make sure to get back home to your special 220 volt charger .The Volt can be driven across the country.

Tesla exotic. volt ment for the masses

[Zobeid]

Tesla is not as bad as you make it sound. It has regenerative braking so it recovers energy on a downhill slope. It could actually go further in cold weather because it doesn't have to run the cooling system as much. And there is a portable charging kit, it can charge from RV hookups for example. It's not for the masses (price starts at $92K), but it's much cheaper than Porsches and Ferraris it can run with. The technology is very promising.

[M2foker]

92k? I dont think the people who can afford it will concern about saving a few bucks for gas.

[ryanwitski]

it's a concept... how do you know? just by looking at it? I think it is a great first step. lets just see if there is a demand for them (electric cars)

[eulluisgtr34]

crapp..
