Using a very long extension cord, keeping up with the other cars. Why not more commuter RAV4-EV??

Most cars you see in this video go less than 40 miles per day. Why not let them use the NiMH EV-95 batteries to drive in EV-only mode, as GM proposes? But GM is not serious.

  • 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.

  • Tamatt, watch the first video.  Study.

  • The demolition of the EV1 program really fucked GM. They had the technology 10 years ago.

  • you guys might want to look at msnbc report today 9/25/2008 this is quote from GM

    the VOLT will run also on 1.4 liter GASOLINE ENGINE....heres what they said

    "GM did not intend to deceive people by maintaining that he motor would only be used to recharge the batteries."

    is deceive also LYING ???

  • 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.

  • nevermind, wrong way 405 NORTH through LB&carson.. bad sense of direction lol. GOSH, i envy you. these RAV4 EVs are GREAAAT

  • 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! -__-...

  • Why.. why.. WHY do other people not think this way?!
