Who the Heck would ever buy a car that was permanently almost on empty. No one could rely on a car that gets 40 miles to the tank in the best case scenario. NOBODY!

How much does a charge last with the temperature at 20deg with the heater on high?

When I saw the headline, I thought GM might have decided put the Corvette motor in it. If they did, they might sell some.

Alessandro Volta, that is.

10,000 / year.

Ford sells that number in F-150's about every 4 days.

"planning to sell two versions of the 2016 plug-in electric car, including a lower-priced model with a smaller battery pack and shorter driving range"

For those who don't need all 40 miles of range, they have a cheaper version! Decent people celebrate every bit of bad GM news, and with a business idea like that we can count on more slow sales until this corrupt company finally dies.

FWIW, I have two elderly friends who own Volts and they love them.....

As for monthly charging costs, it's been very little compared to the savings in gasoline costs........

What I remember was that the high-school science fair kids that designed the car couldn’t get it to work without a DIRECT DRIVE from that puny engine to the drive train...even though they CLAIMED there was no mechanical link.

They got caught RED HANDED.
