PROVE it works and in 3-5 years I will believe...until then it's just #'s....and yes I agree it looks better but Greenie's and tree huggers don't buy on looks...want proof look at how F-ing ugly all the past electric cars and hybrids have been.

Still siding with Hydrogen cars as being a better future for the environment.

I agree with this. Battery power is not the way to go imo.

The thing about this car is that it operates on a battery pack and you can only drive 40 miles before it dies and you have to recharge it.

How to calculate mpg for the electric GM Chevy Volt?

Theres a video in there that gives more info on the car. I'm a little suspicious on how the EPA calculated the MPG for this car.
