GM's 'Volt'...

[GoldenRivet]

This is why we shouldnt trust one of the dinosaur auto companies to build the new cutting edge environmentally friendly vehicles.

they have a cute little box that they are used to thinking well inside of.

Taxpayer money is used to socialize GM and this "volt" is the turd they finally manage to squat down and push out?

give me an effin break.

there are independent, small car companies out there who are building cars with 4 times the battery range of that piece of crap... Im just at a loss for words.

why was the money not invested into these companies?

just backwards washington DC thinking is all it was.

As to charge, 10 hours.

so lets see... if you have a 30 mile commute, and if you work some nights until 9pm like me, get home around 9:30 or 10:00 and have to turn around for a 6am departure, what then? leave out the next morning on 7 hours charging - maybe 8... and run dead within 10 miles of work?
