@TheMisterYang That infrastructure is coming. Here in Portland they are supposed to be putting up 1,100 charging stations by the end of 2011. Of course military bases probably won't have them for a long time, but in the future the EV (even pure EVs) will be completely viable everywhere.

When will it be available to buy? Please don't tell me GM will only lease them. We've been down that road before.

what stopped the EV1 from becoming successful!? The GD car/oil industry crushed it! People LOVED that car. And I just LOVE it how they are acting like now is the time the people want alternate types of transportation. Like 10ish years ago we didn't want it, or were not ready....give me a break...it really blows my mind that a business as a whole took this long to make variations to automobiles. Once again, it's not what we want; it's what they want to give us...

@JeffTheCanuck2, in the USA it is 49% coal, this can be reduced. So, electric cars are 80% efficient while gas is bout 30%

[ndyt]

@Mickymoefoe, The Volt can run off gas, do your homework before you post.

[proaudiohd]

I'd rather drive on Wyoming coal than Iraqi oil

[Mickymoefoe]

why would you buy i car you can't take long trips in? spend roughly 20k on a car that i can't drive anywhere.

[TheMisterYang]

Military guys living in the barracks probably won't be able to have one of these. We don't get garages to park in and there really aren't places around where we can leave our cars to charge for 8 hours. Bummer.

[valhala56]

No she didn't. I would have bought an electric several months ago, but the only thing available $100,000 Tesla or a golf cart.

If I was mechanically inclined I would get one those kits they sell on ebay that will convert certain disels to run on used McDee's french fry grease.

Doesn't coal fuel 80% of the world's power stations, making this is a coal powered vehicle, right? She didn't mention coal, or the film -Who killed The Electric Car? (GM did)
