Looks good, but they have to make the cost comparable to existing cars.

I drive about 20 miles a day. A plug-in electric would be perfect for me, with a 2nd gas car for road trips.

The participation of Renault in this project automatically dooms it to failure!

Next the power companies will quadruple their rates telling us demand has exceeded production. Between cooling your home in the summer, and charging your car, it’ll now cost ya $1900 per month.

If the price of oil, and therefore gasoline/diesel, keeps going up like it has, by 2010 (just 2 years!) there won't BE any "existing cars"!.............

This is where we need to be headed. Plug-in at home.

Let's start getting those nuke plants built.

They need to get to about 400 miles. It will happen over time.

We are sending $300 billion a year to saudi to buy oil. Is there anything less preferable than that?

So an electric car will save gas but what about the costs of the extra energy it will take to charge them up?

Has anyone noticed the similarity between the Chevy Volt and Iron Man?

Don’t forget that your annual license for the car will have to include enough fees to cover the lost gas tax revenue.

Don’t forget the rise in domestic electric bills unless we are suddenly going to build a lot more power plants.
