They sold us out. SHort and simple. If I were Honda I would sue them. But they may have worked out a royalty scheme it would seem. This company GM works for SATAN! I could design a better car.

Who cares what it looks like and battery technology is still developing, so don't criticize GM for its efforts. I have considered purchasing the Tesla but this Silicon Valley company hasn't performed the testing equal to GM standards which are necessary for my family (I may still buy it for myself). I live in CA and am installing enough solar panels to 1) significantly reduce my residential electic bill and 2) charge two Volts vehicles EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. We can take the kids to school and shop for necessities without exceeding the 40 mile/charge or day limit. Using solar power to charge the Volt is 100% free (remember the solar panel costs) and 100% green. I may buy less than five tank fulls (5 * 14 gal * $5 = $350) all year primarily for extended trips. This compares to two car tank fulls every two weeks = 52 tank fulls (52 * 18 gal * $5 = $4,680). Now that is "GREEN" ENERGY INDEPENDENCE. I think everyone is missing the point somewhat.

The EV1 could go 70miles per charge.Where this car can go 40 miles per charge. The engineer of the EV1's charging system said he can design the car where it can get up to 300 miles per charge. The EV1 also could go from 0-60 in 3 seconds. And the EV1 was developed by GM too. I'm thinking there is some sort of secret oil deal between GM and other auto makers have with the big oil companies. The deal? Slowly move America away from gasoline engines or some other deal that the public can't imagine. Most of Americans who are Green conscience know about the EV1. I think GM just need to go ahead and make a totally electric car. America is at a crossroad;either stay with gasoline cars and destroy America's economy;or go with TOTAL ELECTRIC cars and save America's economy and save the world's eco system. The 41,000 that signed up need to demand GM to back to it's technology of it's EV1 and improve on it and put it into it's electric cars. ENOUGH! The Oil Age should have ended 12 years ago, The Chevy Volt is an insult for those who know GM can do 1000 times better. www.whokilledtheelectriccar.com So how is the Chevy Volt better than the EV1?

Call it anything else....call it the colt. Make the volt when after they are sure it will sell. It should not be called the volt. Call it anything else….call it the colt.

Make the volt when after they are sure it will sell.
