Wow! The Chevy Volt is a great looking electric car. We have been depending of fossil fuel for far too long. It is time for a change. No doubt there are a few drawbacks on pure electric car right now, but we shouldn’t ignore it.

Can’t wait to see all the electric cars on the road.

Thanks for the post.

I hope GM sells tons of these when they finally come out. Then they can hopefully pay our government back and we will finally have a good American car around. I am all about GM succeeding with this rather than a massive gas guzzling SUV.

@Neal: GM is designing the battery to maintain a range of 40 miles for 10 years, and I’m pretty sure they said they will warranty that amount of time.

When batteries come out after their usable in-car lifetime, they’ll most likely be used as backup storage for utilities, so they’ll be re-used for a long time before being recycled.
