GM's own website says this piece of crap car goes "UP TO 40" miles on a charge. So "up to 40 miles" means that if you run the A/C, CD or MP3 player and GPS, you'll probably get 10 miles.

And by the way you'll spend $40K for the privilege.

Shove it Obama.

You also need to flip that around: in winter, you need to run heaters and defrosters.

There is also the issue of battery efficiency in cold weather. Everyone knows that batteries don’t deliver as much energy at low temps.

This is why I laugh at the idea of electric cars taking over the national auto fleet. The only people stupid enough to propose these ideas live in DC or California, where they don’t have real winters.
