Saying that On Star is just cell phone and not internet is naive. Ever heard of Broadband Internet? The 3G cellphone networks can move data as fast as DSL.

It would be nice to have integrated broadband internet. A first for any production car I believe.

I’d love to see a faux leather option with this car. Some of the luxury manufacturers now offer that, and it’s a big plus with the green community. Including me!

My answer would be yes, if done did exactly as stated in either #17 and #111. It would required a little setup on the owner’s part, to have the cord already plugged in the wall and hanging in the location they will have easy access to, and they would simply grab and plug in the connector side – still takes one hand.

Side Note: However, since your question is in reference to an amputated arm, then I have to say, NO, they can’t carry a package and plug in the connection with one hand, which is what RB wanted to know, so it would not work in this case, and I don’t think there is any other way to handle that, short of a wireless type charging station, like the ones being created for cellphones, calculators.

But these are low voltage items. I don’t see that happening with a 15kw car battery at this time. But you never know.

However, This is not what RB ask, nor what he was trying to say.

Watch the first of the two videos. You get about 5 seconds of the rear seat configuration at about 1:40.

I have been waiting for a look at the back seat. Is there a middle hump in the back seat that would prevent a third person from sitting there or can three people be squeezed in.

Do the rear seats fold forward to create more storage room in the hatchback/trunk area, like most hatchbacks? That would increase the utility of the Volt’s hatchback-like trunk.

Late edit:

“Plagarize. Let no one’s work evade your eyes. Remember why the Good Lord made your eyes. So don’t shade your eyes. But plagarize, plagarize, plagarize.”

LOL, vintage Tom Lehrer, circa 1959:

“Plagarize. Let no one’s work evade your eyes. Remember why the Good Lord made your eyes. And plagarize, plagarize, plagarize.”

“It seem there are a few people have not seen the production’s plugin look like. This is the video that show more detail about the plug and the plugin port. If you don’t want to watch the whole video. The plug and the plugin port start @ 3:25. Here the link from GM site that show the plugin. ”

On that same site there is a great video that shows the charging/discharging during driving.
