If I had the money to blow, I'd buy one of these and get it fitted with a receiver hitch. Then I'd buy one of those tow-behind diesel generators, and drive the thing around towing the generator as it continuously recharged my batteries.

It would be its own rolling punchline.

“doesn’t mean that you won’t burn fossil fuels”

Darn! You stole my thunder, but that’s o.k. It is true.

In a post down thread..you pointed out the unavailibilty of charging stations. A great point!

Back in the early days of the gasoline engine..there were few gas stations.

So..if these electric cars take hold some day..there could be money made in recharging stations???

Read my lips: IT COSTS TOO MUCH!

Find a way to make the Volt 'as is' and sell it for $22-25k ... it will fly off the lots. The high $30k's for that car is NUTS!

Electric cars are not innovation. They’ve been around for about 110 years, and never made a shred of sense. They’re costly, inefficient, underpowered and limited to a small range.

Why would anyone ever want one?

When the sh!t hits the fan, they’re going to be worse than useless. If your life depended on one, you are a corpse.

Is the Fusion the one that looks like a 1955 Checker station wagon?

>>> “There Is No Market” For The Volt

I’m openminded. I considered the Volt but realized an electric car just doesn’t work for me. The longest extension cord I have is only about 20 feet. I need to be able to travel further then that.
