Rather sickening really... At the time there were about 25 thousand back orders for the EV 1, all the test versions were smashed and dumped in landfills... Let's hope Exxon Mobil doesn't buy the patten for the volt's system witch they did with the EV 1 !!! Putting 40 years of hard work by the couple that developed it out of reach to anyone...

I don’t know about Tag’s looks, but I know that when it comes to looks all I have is looks. Good, bad or ugly, it is just looks.

Sometimes, reality is sooo unpopular here. Statik's crime is that he so often brings numbers to a hype fight. #136, Guido, “It shocks me that anyone would defend Statik’s incessant whining and carping, other than perhaps Charlie H ( who clearly is a Toyota shill – probably sells them ).”

That being said I'll probably still try to play declines time to time...maybe even a pop or two. Side note: to N RIley, noel, RB, tag, etc. Even if GM won't hook us up with a Volt Nation2, we should have a get together...maybe at one of next year's autoshows, they seem to be the place to do such things.

The journalist did not make clear what the GM guy was actually saying about a pure EV - not electric cars in general. The fact that the Chinese are vigorously pursuing renewable energy was also not mentioned in the throwaway at the end about their fossil fuel power stations. We have so many articles like this, opinion dressed up as fact under a misleading headline, in the UK press these days. EVs are a highly political topic and therefore we can expect a lot of this rubbish often financed by the bad guys (Big Oil). Only in the blogosphere can such shoddy journalism be challenged. The trouble is a lot of people still have their opinions formed by the main stream media and it means we all have to work harder to dispel the myths. Maybe somebody should come out with an international star rating scheme for newspapers to guide us on what to buy and read. A bit like bonds. Maybe factors such as objectivity, truthfulness, accuracy, investigative zeal could be the basis of it as rated by the public.
