In 18 months the power should DOUBLE according to moore's law. Looks like they will have to pack more dense cells in that T-shaped battery.

He didn't do very well on the three-question quiz--he missed all three. Hopefully, his performance on the quiz has nothing to do with his performance at GM and on the Volt. :-) Listen to the reaction of the audience as he speaks about the Volt. He's got to know there's serious interest in the concept and the car. regards, dale Robert Lutz was featured as a ‘contestant’ on NPR’s Saturday airing of the program Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!

Listen to the reaction of the audience as he speaks about the Volt. He’s got to know there’s serious interest in the concept and the car.

The company willing to put executive pay and perks on the back-burner will rule the next generation of auto manufacturing. Wonder who has enough sense to build the 21st century Model T? Note to the execs: you have to give something to get something...really.

Face reality already. GM must deliver something in that category. The market is rapidly growing for genuine high-efficiency vehicles and the need to move forward is urgent. How many times has it been claimed that Volt will deliver 50 MPG after the battery-pack is depleted? If so, why the heck won't a "lite" version of Volt be offered? A smaller battery-pack would drop price quite a bit and still deliver a competitive vehicle. Let me know when you find one…
