GM needs to make a stripped down millivolt for young people to ride. Hold the amenities. It should be mostly enclosed and get 1000 miles per gallon equivalent.

GM should allow for regular household generators to be carried by the Volt instead of having their own fixed internal combustion engine on board. Downsize the car until it works.

I believe the winner should be the consumer.

I don’t think the Volt will provide adequate transportation without requiring families to have an additional vehicle (gas) for both size and distance reasons.

I believe an Extended Range EV should target the size of the 7 passenger Buick Rendezvous with middle and back seats folding down. With the right focus on safety it would be the ideal vehicle for a much larger market than the Volt. This would also be applicable to the Fuel Cell.

Also I don’t feel safe in any small vehicle.

Of course there’s room for all of them. Hybrids, plugin hybrids and pure EVs.

Some people are gonna resist plugging in for a while, and unplugged full hybrids like the Prius and Fusion will continue to do well.

Others, like me, are gonna willingly plug in, but still harbor some range anxiety so we’ll opt for PHEVs, E-REVs, and other plugged in hybrids–be they serial or parallel.

Finally, some are already driving NEVs so it’s a fairly easy sell to add 100 miles of range and highway speed capability.
