It is excellent that almost everyone recognize the range anxiety of battery powered electric cars, but some of us want to do something about it, like Tesla planning a much better swapping station...

I've got to get me one of these! Almost same as CS mode in Volt, it gets 40 mpg, and with 6 people.

Am with Joe. In the absence of other information within the article in CNET as referenced, one can only conclude that the base price meant 300 miles because it did not mention anything about a range...

We've heard the "if ever" part before, but Tesla was able to pull it off rolling out Model S.

Some reports said that the Tesla $30K model would be around 2015 to 2016, and production starts in...

I truly believe that the Volt is truly profitable for GM if they account for its value in lowering their payments of environmental and carbon credits. We are being taken for a ride by Akerson et al...

According to the profit made by Tesla, a lot of it came from Environmental Credit of $35,000 per car and about $12,857 carbon credit per car ($63M for 4,900 cars sold).

BUT IT IS NOT YET a recommended buy. They need a few years on the road for that.

Charging at home doesn't need major modifications to our existing grid and supply of electrons. Charging at work would truly need major upgrades of the grid and lots of additional suppliers of...

This could be bad for Tesla. If GM cuts the cost of Volt by $10,000 I'll be buying another Volt for my daughter instead of buying the upcoming Tesla Model X for myself and giving my daughter the...

Where's EESTOR when you need them?

How many miles per year? And how much per mile of excess mileage?

While Akerson also advocates developing shale gas powered vehicles, I don't agree with him, it is still fossil fuel. True, it can help us get rid of imported oil, but we will be stuck with the same...

Afterall, FoxNews et al., have said that the plant has already been paid for...

"When the Chevy Volt electric car first hit the market a couple of years ago with a built-in gas tank to...

2014 is almost upon us and hope to see some 400 wh/kg battery packs produced by Envia for GM. Here's an old news as a refresher:

if it burned 19 miles in gas, I can also guess that the gas used is 0.5 gallons, giving it the normal 38 mpg.

For those that have driven Tesla Model S and GM-Volt:

Which one is much more comfortable to drive in a 120-mile or 2-hour continuous trip, assuming no range anxiety (ambient temperature optimum,...

So you're okay that the Chinese is doing this to anyone in broad daylight? They've been at it, relentless hacking of corporate secrets. They are not only copying and mass producing the popular...

Years in the Making, Promising Rechargeable Metal-Air Batteries Head to Market


A Scottsdale, Arizona-based startup is now selling batteries that promise to be a cheaper alternative for grid...

If these are only for those with OnStar in the USA, what is the best estimate if we include all Volts in the USA? It is quite easy to extrapolate accurately given that we have a very large...
