living in michigan, i try to follow what goes on with the Big 3 - GM, Ford, and Chysler and try to go to the North American Auto Show. anyway, last year GM introduced its Chevrolet Volt electric concept. btw production is supposed to start in 2012. anyway, the concept behind this car is that the primary power source will be from a bank of Li-ion batteries. then after the batttery power gets low, a small gasoline generator kicks in to charge the batteries.

So as a submarine ethusist, i thought this is really nothing new. it basically the same concept that was used on the disele boats except reveresed and on a smaller scale.

heres a link for some more info on the car http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/

would anyone agree eith me on this?
