Chevy Volt
230 MPG...looks good on paper. Real figures, the best I can tell, are 50 MPG if you drive it anywhere.
Let's cut to the chase. How many watts does it consume while it's recharging...and you're buying watts, brother. Look at your electric bill. What's a new set of batteries cost, and how long do the last? How much is is going to cost to get rid of the old batteries?
At 40K, someone need to ask these questions. Ain't the first time someone's tried to blow smoke up my ass.
Speak out, or forever hold your tongue,

PS: If you want this "Green" shit to fly, it has to be cost effective. Make it cost effective, and the world will beat a path to your door.
Simple as that.
