The article does not mention how many of these will be bought by the government with our tax dollars of whether each will come with a 100-mile-long extension cord.

Reuters cleverly tries to hide the fact that roughly half the cost of a $70,000 electrical vehicle is being borne by the taxpayers.

GM has now announced a new electric only vehicle that will provide unlimited mileage on updated roadways:

Too bad that they don’t come with trolley poles so that you can use San Francisco’s rather extensive trolley bus wire network . . .

With the Huge demand for electric cars ,these will Fly Off the Lot , LOL

You have to ‘fill’ these cars by recharging them.....a good many Power Plants are fueled by c-o-a-l....where ever the electricity comes from it is very expensive....

[MtnClimber]

They should rename it the PRICK.

So exactly where does the other end of that charging cord lead to again? /s/

“Obama car”? Oh brother! These people are megalomaniacs!

They want their mark on EVERYTHING.

When is MO going to authorize an "O" tampon?

Hmm, a .50 cal, bolt action car. Impressive idea.

[cripplecreek]

While the jobs are nice to have they might as well make wagon wheels for what electric cars are worth.

From what little I know about alternative fuel sources I think the Honda Clarity might be the best attempt so far:

When we get the Presidency add to the list to cut off GM and demand a total repayment of all tax payers monies since the first dollor went to them.

I will believe the 200 mile range when I see it. Remember all the hype over the VOLT? An innovative gas/electric concept car that ended up in production a hybrid that was inferior to every hybrid on the market.

If everyone can agree on the SAE J1772 standard for charger connections—especially the current (pun not intended here!) standard that includes both AC and DC charging—the Bolt might actually be a viable car for commuting. Let’s see if Tesla is willing to upgrade their charging stations to use the J1772 standard connector.

The new GM “Welfare”, electric vehicle.

[BobL]

How does that company get ANYONE to work for them? Is the economy really THAT BAD?

[equaviator]

When it fails, they’ll say that consumers need to be better educated.

Nuts and Bolts go together perfectly.
