I notice that the wheels dont turn, as in going around curves, there is no torque being transferred through the drive-train. No substantial g forces or panic type of braking either. This is why chevys rattle and squeak. The only exception that I have found is the vette and the higher end trucks.

Ohh that’s why Chevrolet breaks down easily.

Why would you pay/use gas just to get gas? Waste money to spend money?

If you could charge at your house wouldnt that be a savings alone in time and fuel not wasted going to the gas station?

Volt is going to change the world. Semi will be electric powered? there number one cost is fuel. now the cost of everything would be cheaper as the shipping cost is carreyed on to the consumer.... Its 1/6 the cost to run electric as it gas. semi companys spend over $1millon a yr on fuel. electric is 1/6
