The company that has the best battery or fuel cell shall be the leader. The infrastructure must exist prior to the creation of any vehicle because of the requirement to recharge or refuel. The electric grid is already in place for an electric vehicle. Cars would charge at night when energy demands are low. The issue is with the performance, density, weight and cost of mobile power storage. The fueled/electric hybrid is a bridge to all electrics. I hope GM pokes Fox News and the other naysayers in both eyes. GO GM!!!! I hope GM pokes Fox News and all of the other naysayers in the eye.

GM believes that electrically driven vehicles, based on battery and hydrogen fuel cell technology, offer the best long-term solution for providing sustainable personal transportation." This is the only true hope for the future for individual/personal energy independence. Go Supreme Court! Save Chrysler from politicians. Penske buying Saturn proves a true Ch11 is better than the mess forced upon us by our fascist-socialist policy President. “and – ultimately – electrically driven extended-range electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Go Supreme Court! Save Chrysler from politicians. Penske buying Saturn proves a true Ch11 is better than the mess forced upon us by our fascist-socialist policy President.
