I've gotta side with Darren and Joe on this one.

Electric cars are not the answer. If GM thinks that the VOLT will be their salvation, they are truly misguided. I for one, would never drive some stupid electric car. Why would I want something that has a limited range, excess weight and piss-poor looks(New Porsche Included). Battery technology is just not there yet. And of course, there is the previously mentioned pollution brought on by the excess electricity production that will be required. And have I mentioned the expense of replacing the battery pack?

I get the feeling the BMW will ultimately develop Hydrogen technology, and blow these other pretenders right out of the water!

Electric car my ass!!!

Are people not reading before they post? I am not a propenent of electric cars. I am a proponent of hybrids, which do not have poor range, or require a plug in recharge. The liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack behind the cockpit of the 918 can be charged at home, or by brake regeneration.

I absolutely agree that electric plug in cars are not the answer. I do think that hydrogen power is the future.
