115-year-old electric car gets same 40 miles to the charge as Chevy Volt
— exactly the mileage Chevrolet advertises for the Volt, the highly touted $31,645 electric car General Motors CEO Dan Akerson called “not a step forward, but a leap forward.” -- Chevy Volt | Electric Car | Old Car | The Daily Caller

Your Say
And let me guess: the Roberts electric car does not spontaneously combust.

The next great leap forward (sorry) will be the horse and buggy. It runs on bio-fuel you know.

How big is the Government subsidy for one of these?

How many times have I written that the Battery powered Electric Vehicle is not the car of the Future. it is the car of the past.

$31k? I thought it was $45K, and then $37.5K after the rebate. Obambi wants the new rebate to be $10K, which still doesn't bring it down to $31K.
I'm am confoozded ?????

40 miles. And the Volt weighs how much more? Sure it has all the mod cons, airbags, radio,maybe WiFi. How far would that really old car go on one (1, not 2, not 3, but 1 and only 1) new battery from the Volt?

compared to smlriaily rated cars there is no similar cars nothing to compare to.The VOLT is far superior to anything on the road. Even CMU stated that the VOLT is over engineered. The more engineering the better as far as I'm concerned. Charging times exponentially longer than gas fill-ups You charge at night when electricity is cheaper and if you forget it doesn't matter the generator will power the car . if you forget in the Leaf .. you aren't going anywhere. Possible Strain on Power Grid especially neighborhood residential transformers Who comes up with this stuff . a large LCD TV takes more power than the charger for the VOLT and it will be a long time before we see more VOLTs than large TVs. No infrastructure for practical use of the car; Public charging systems are few and far between. Have you read anything about the Volt? The range extender makes this statement totally FALSE. The majority of commuters in this country drive 40 miles or less to work. My commute is only 10 miles each way and the vast majority of commuters in my area drive less than 15 miles each way to work. That means the VOLT will be VERY PRACTICAL for all these commuters.
