You mean the car whose production is ending and plant is closing due to such low demand that they can't sell enough to keep the product alive? One more albatros that is bringing down GM. Perhaps even more of an utter waste of resources as the EV-1 disaster of the early 90s.
Which, really is kind of sad. The Volt was a viable concept forward. True electrics will never make it as a primary vehicle. Limited range and long charging times-a cross country trip might be possible, but not practicable with one. With the Volt's plug-in hybrid design at least it can make it as an individuals or families primary vehicle. Still-a diesel is a more practical approach than a hybrid. Simpler driveline, none of the redundancies and extra weight of two power plants, and excellent mileage. I looked at a Equinox diesel-they are knocking down nearly 50 mpg, with good performance.
The Volt has gas that kicks in when the battery runs out. GM wants to go all electric because this is the future.
Correct. It's going to need to be a quantum leap in battery technology in order to compete. The battery technology is the biggest weakness of these cars.
They should have stuck with Hydrogen.
You don't know what you're talking about. We're already seeing electric cars with the same range, and cars coming out soon will go further than most ICE vehicles. The biggest gap is charging solutions, which are catching up very quickly. 5-10 years from now will look a lot different.
Apparently? I didn't imply anything of the sort, cars catch fires for all sort of reasons. The owner of that tesla is not buying another one, he said it on camera. I won't go into the rate of fires, I'll wait a few more years until those new tesla's start to age.
My cousin's car literally started on fire as she was driving one day. She barely made it out of the car alive.
Trump is trying to ensure economic prosperity for all Americans. Not just overpriced toys for the very rich with more money than brains. Your golf cart is still out there if you want to buy one-just don't expect the taxpayers to continue to subsidize it for you indefinitely.
You mean how the tax payers subsidize (and have subsidized for many decades now) the oil industry?
