Lyle,
Congratulations. You put a lot of hard work into this site. We here at gm-volt.com knew how awesome you are. Now everyone else does too. This site is fantastic.
The people here are great, helpful, and make this site a good one too.

Lyle,
Those links you posted are stuck together, there is actually only 3 links.
Thanks for running this site, you are doing an oustanding job.
October 24th, 2007 at 9:00 am
Links fixed. Thanks.

Great job! I check this site a few times a week and I’m really excited about how we’ll fuel our cars in the future.

Lyle:
Congratulations on a great site !! There certainly are a great bunch of people on this avenue. It would be nice to have the first Volt rally with all of us that have participated on this car blog and have Volts.
Then we could all meet in person.
October 24th, 2007 at 10:16 am
Congrats Lyle. Glad somebody is paying attention. Let’s go GM!
October 24th, 2007 at 10:18 am
…forgot to ask. How many people are on the “waiting list?” How many of those would be realistic buyers?
October 24th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Congratulations! Well deserved.
GM has a lot to learn from you about blogging and, what’s the phrase, “viral marketing”?.
Tom M., #5:
Sounds like fun.

I’m in for the rally! I’m located outside Chicago and could make it to DC.
Anyway, Lyle, great job and you certainly deserve the recognition. I check this site daily and greatly appreciate your efforts.

Congratulations Lyle! I’m glad to see the site get the recognition it deserves. Now we just need to get you one of those demo Volts from GM.
Keep up the good work!
October 24th, 2007 at 10:44 am
At the risk of being repetitious…
Congratulations, Lyle. The recognition is well-deserved.
October 24th, 2007 at 11:18 am
I appreciate the congrats but I also want to make it clear that is all of you guys who read and comment here that really gives this site it’s value.
I may present the news and the facts, but it is everyone’s unique perspective, knowledge, and insight that we all (including GM) learn from.

I’m glad that you’ve gotten the recognition that you deserve. I’m down for a rally when we get our Volts! I live in Texas, and most likely still will, but I’d definitely be down for trying out a distance-run with the range extender in, what, 2011? I’m all for it. I also think that this kind of kudos from the New York Times will help GM be reminded that we want these things. Awesome!

I will buy the first production electric plug-in or plug-in hybrid available even if it costa more. Why does GM wait for batteries when they already exist? GM can improve the cars later while producing it now.
I get all of my household energy from PV panels and will plug in my car for zero energy pollution.

I would certainly go to any rally. I will retire in 2010, and, with any luck get a Chevy Volt soon after. Yesterday my son was telling me about the glass roof on the concept car. I asked him how he knew that and he said one of his friends had seen it in Boys Life magazine; so the kids are starting to talk about it at school. I would love to be able to take my son to A Volt rally. Man, retirement and the the Volt! That is going to be a heck of a year!

Great Job Lyle!

Great job Lyle! I love the cooperative and friendly atmosphere of this site. It’s great that word is spreading. I just hope that this site doesn’t draw the attention of some trolls that have been attacking green auto sites.
October 24th, 2007 at 5:00 pm
I’m surprised the NY Times can count to ten.
October 24th, 2007 at 7:44 pm
Congratulations Lyle.
October 24th, 2007 at 7:45 pm
Thanks Lyle! This is well deserved recognition.

Lyle,
At work and everywhere, I get a chance I am talking about this site, you, and all of us who come here. How a doctor, a family man, a man with a passion for a better world, and a more environmental friendly car such as the Volt take his time to create such informative place where we all can come and get well-informed. Congratulations Lyle. And yes, # 5 and # 10, I am with you.

Very interested in reading this site. Can’t wait to see EVs on roads. I’ve decided not to buy another gas car even though mine is 13 years old.
But better understand these cars before buying one. It seems to me the battery is a focus in all topics and 5 major players in the field (for now).
What about the electric motors. I’d assume motors as as important as engines in gas cars. Why I do not see who is good in making electric motors? Also how the power control systems work so that the milage is optimized?
Thanks.
