I think the Volt is a four person car. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong (too lazy to Google it). I have always liked the look of this car. I don't think they plan to sell it in the States next year. Looks a lot like the Blue Car, which will have capacitors: http://biodiversivist.blogspot.com/2009/03/outgreening-your-neighbors-competition.html "...Seems government can pick winners and losers, despite what our polititians say..."

The Oil Age has officially ended" While I appreciate the significance of the first mass-produced EV from a major auto manufacturer, I think I'll wait to declare victory until there are more choices on the market than a 100-mile electric jelly bean. “Yes!

My round trip commute is 62 miles. This car would be perfect for that. Most families have two cars that can hold four people. Most families don't need two cars that hold this many. We cater too much to young people who think they need to run around a lot. If you want to go more than 80 miles, use your other car.
