    You should have read up more on this care before reading the propaganda you referenced in your comment. The math on the site you have a link to in your post is based on incorrect data. The point of the electric engine is that it can travel 40 miles without using any gas. So, for a 40 mile trip, remove all of the references to gasoline, it wouldn't use any! So, remove $2.45 per trip and 15.5 lbs of greenhouse gas emissions. It sounds kinda nice now, huh?




    For my part, I think we need to build PHEVs as soon as possible.

    That's all fine and dandy. It's all smoke and mirrors from GM. The truth is, GM did not give us the EV1 until the California Air Resource Board forced them to,(even then they fought it, remember ?) Then, they destroyed the vehicle ! They didn't just take it away from people that wanted it, they went even further, they destroyed every last one !

    If anybody really, truly, wants the first consumer friendly, affordable, all electric vehicle, they had better start working hard to get laws passed, to get it, instead of having pipe dreams, and listening to BS from GM.

    Think about it. GM could give us a full production, all electric vehicle, in as little as probably one or two years if they really wanted to. All they have to do is start up production of the EV1, using the lithium-ion batteries.

    Instead, all we get are more 'carrots'. "We'll give you the sort-of electric vehicle in just a few more years. It's just like the other technologies. "Just a few more years and we'll figure out hydrogen." Just a few more years and we'll do it, we promise."

    I'll say it again, "They didn't give us the EV1 until the CARB forced them to, and the only way we'll see the consumer friendly electric vehicle is if we force them to give it to us."

    If anybody........ wants the electric vehicle,(so we can drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions) then they must work hard for laws that force Detroit to give it to us.

    Zyrtec 5 or 10 mg. Rapidity and discreet delivery on Next Day (FedEx Overnight). The low price and free medical consultation.


    Why did GM kill their Electric Car (which had a range of 130 miles), saying that they did it because there was 'no demand' ? haha what a joke. now that GM's stock price has plummeted and the Japanese are taking over their market share, they decide to RE-introduce a limited HYBRID version-VOLT.
