Such as Tesla Motors has been doing for years! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXxOtgn8iGU Also, Tesla Roadsters have been for sale for a while now, despite the article denying the fact.

The other (Volt) has the same electric components that make it an electric vehicle in the first place with the added expense and problems that comes standard with an internal combustion engine.

The chevy volt is a good concept and in my opinion superior to something like the Toyota Prius. Pure BEV's have advantages that shouldn't be ignored either. One advantage is the life of the battery. The lower energy density cells in the Chevy Volt means the battery must be recharged more often than say Tesla's high energy pack. Batteries are only good for an X number of recharges before they degrade. Assuming the volt and tesla use the same battery type, their overall lifetime cost will be at least equal considering the Volt will need more frequent replacement though the Tesla pack costs more upfront. You see, its kind of a double edged sword. The electric vehicle business is getting pretty crazy haha. The chevy volt is a good concept and in my opinion superior to something like the Toyota Prius.

Yes, that's 1899! They have some very photos of it at Autobloggreen. Matt986: yes, the Volt concept is not new, check out the Lohner Porsche, from 1899.
