THIS IS GMs ATTEMPT TO GET INVESTORS. FACTS: 1) GM CLAIMS CAR IS ON SCHEDUELE HOWEVER LATEST DATA IS "PROTOTYPE" BODY STYLE HAS POOR AERODYNAMICS AND WILL BE COMPLETELY CHANGED 2) MILEAGE WENT FROM 640 MILES IN SOME ARTICLES TO 300MILES IN OTHERS 3) PREDICTED COSTS ARE 20K IN SOME ARTICLES AND 40K IN OTHERS. 4)GM LATEST SO CALLED ELECTRIC CAR IS ACTUALLY A CHEVY IMPALA 5)iF THE ev1 COULD GET OVER 100 MILES ON A CHARGE, HOW COME THE VOLT CAN ONLY GET 40 (AFTER 12 YRS). 6) THE IDEA OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE TURNING A GENERATOR, CHARGING A BATTERY, DISCHARGING THE BATTERY THROUGH A MOTOR CONTROLLER TO A MOTOR IS ONE OF THE MOST INEFFICIEENT WAS OF ENERGY TRANSFER. iF IT WAS EVER TESTED IT WOULD BE QUITE OBVIOUS THE VOLT IS A PIPE DREAM… THIS IS GMs ATTEMPT TO GET INVESTORS.
