Hey it's just a Chevy but what's truly new here is the change of direction by an American car company. Forget that the change is driven largely by economics and celebrate that it's happening at all. Our challenge as we go forward is to stay the environmental course because it's the right thing to do. As gas prices drop due to reduced demand, Americans need to look to the environmental and geo-political reasons before making their next car purchase. The Chevy Volt will allegedly travel up to 40 miles on a single charge - enough to get 75% of Americans back and forth to work everyday without burning a drop of gasoline. If that's the case and IF consumers respond, other manufactuers will follow and the direction will be set.Check out the link and think green.

wow, how much would I love one of these??? Traveling 40 miles a day and not using any gas? That is basically what I travel, in and around it. I have an SUV so it costs me a fortune to fill it up at the end of the week.
ReplyDeleteSo as long as NASCAR exists, no, for all its merits and benefits green technology will never be adopted as the norm within the automobile.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool. I like the idea of the electric car. I would want one of these. I hate getting gas i dont know why but i rarley ever do it i always make my boyfriend get me gas. I'ld much rather have to charge a battery.
ReplyDeleteIt would be cool if every car was like this. 40 miles with no gas.. that would be great. There are really so many benefits to electric cars and going green!
ReplyDeleteGM already had an electric car, this isn't new. they destroyed because of iol but when they lose lots of buisness because of foreign companies not caring about the oil then we go to them. they fell behind a little in this blue and green world.
ReplyDeleteelectric cars
ReplyDeletethey still need to be charged up more then filled up can't go far in them either
I cant wait for the Volt to come out!! I think it will change the auto industry. Although this technology came out years ago there wasn't a demand for it like there is today. I see in 10-15 years all vehicles being hybrid or alternative fuel only...no more just gas/diesel vehicles.
