Thanks! Also, if so, what would they (GM) do to fix that problem?

[of course this would be based on presently known facts, subject to change as real data becomes available] It has been asked many times – sorry to repeat the question, but I have not yet found an answer :

For instance: a locomotive diesel engine recharge accumulators that feed electric engines that power the wheels of the machine. Why the volt wouldn't follow that principle. I personally believe that with this principle the volt could go from New York city to Seatle with one tank full, Don't you think? Good day Dave,

I mean driver choice at about 50% capacity. Just for charging at home, not by gas. Hi,

Is there enough power to continue, by simply refilling the gas tank? I haven't heard anyone ask. How do I/What happens if I am at the end of my tank of gas and haven’t recharged since full?

What took so long ??? GM - Get the price down you will be the rich beyond belief Get greedy and take to long getting this to Market and the compitition like usual will EAT YOU ALIVE.. The Motor should be a DIESEL !!!!!!! Get a MOVE ON... Or you will get your ass kicked - Slow as the Government Rob I been saying this for years – Small motor connected to a Generatot/Alternator..
