>> The Chevy Volt will be a huge success
I sure hope so, truthguy! Yes they will be costly at first (what ISN'T, when it's new?) but that should change rapidly.
IMHO most importantly, EREVs are currently our best chance forward to eliminating our addiction to foreign oil. Nevermind BS "saving the planet" feel-goodery, this is about national security!
People, your best bet for information about this car is neurosurgeon and Volt buff Lyle Dennis's website, gm-volt.com, which was quite aptly cited by truthguy. The latest news about the Volt is always there, Dr. Dennis has been on top of this thing since the Volt concept was first shown in early 2007. Plus, read the comments after each news-blog entry, and you'll also get perspectives from EV fans, oil haters, environmentalists, regular car-lovin' people, patriots... all kinds of folks.

You owe it to yourself to educated about EREVs.I was 'edjumacated' in high school about energy, and the transformation of it from chemical to mechanical and so forth.
I've not seen any great EFFIENCY breakthoughs announced since then that would allow a certain MASS to be accelerated up to a certain SPEED for a certain COST better than GASOLINE... I do not care HOW cute the replacement package is, or how many computers it has on board.
