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

I guess we'll see. Article in the LA Times today saying that Ford is starting to test plug-in hybrids. Maybe that will put some pressure on GM?

Interview was from April 6th. We had the VP on the radio show Science Friday that week, along with some other green car experts. Batteries were a hot topic.

electric cars there just shit they make them but they never sell them they just get stored away and never seen agen electric cars they will be so highly priced that by the time our gas ect runso out on the earth tll all be under water so whats the point ?

[boomshanka]

I can't wait for the Australian/New Zealand release in a couple of years (as a Holden).

tThey made the car, showed it to everybody, and then, put it back in the garage and and said "now we wait until someone makes a battery we can use in this car..." And later they ask why the company is broke...

[vatan1923]

the purpose of making hypird car is eliminating gasoiline cars because in next 100 years there will be no oil in the world but you can allways make electricity right. and also another purpose of making hypird is environment safety

[roughryder5]

so wouldnt you be wasting money on electricity in place of gas ?

[rosal2006]

who screwing who ? no more need for gasoline ? thats the way but as you can tell generalmotors still can't figure out how to put generators on each wheel to make the car support it's own system... very sad for so called educations now isn't it ?

corprate greed will last forever, and the'll never learn. I run with you DON'T SUPPORT GM

[yeeeeeehaw]

You are right, GM put out a good EV, then took it back due to corporate greed and it has come back to bite them.

Obama is using our tax dollars to keep this company going instead of investing wisely in important areas.

When times were good for them they did not care what we wanted, only what would make them richer and what was in THEIR best interest. Now they need our support.

DONT SUPPORT GM

[bushkilledtowers]

it;s all bullshit, they made a great electric car, and then they shreaded all of them because it did not use any gas what so ever, what there doing now, is they have made an electric car that STILL uses gas.
