Great review and great insight on whats to come. I enjoyed the part where you asked about how temperature will affect the generator, particularly being out in the cold for an extended period. Questions like this are important because I live in a colder climate than southern cali.

The new Chevy Volt will be able to drive 40 miles before using gasoline. How much, on average, will it cost on your household power bill to charge this car each night?

As soon as they get this up to around 200 miles a charge you have a game changer.

I'm pretty sure “major scandal” was tongue in cheek on BC's part.

I'm not sure “major scandal” is quite the right qualifier here, but yeah, it would be cool to get a more personal look at this car. I'm also optimistic about the potential here. It's too bad the economics are still pretty out of reach for most people, but lets be honest – this is a huge leap for GM and could very much be the beginning of real evolution for them

Not 300 miles. About 200-230 total, charge plus gasoline motor. I have to say, I'm increasingly optimistic about the car. The concept really does work, and as a second car, for someone with a garage they can plug it in at, it works.

Bill, do the world a favor and if you don't know what you're talking about keep your drivel to yourself. Being a hater is one thing, but lying and making stuff up is another. The Volt will get 40 miles on a single charge and thereafter will have an extended range of 300 more miles running on it's electric engine powered by fuel. Most Americans don't drive more than 40 miles a day, so most will never have to buy gas. The cost will be offset by a $7500 tax credit, bringing the purchase price into the low $30s. The Volt is a revolutionary piece of equipment that makes me proud as an American. Hope I educated you a little, you need a lot of help.

I don't see this as the 'dream' car for environmentalists. Did I see on TV this machine gets 200 miles per gallon of fuel???? That means it has to be a hybrid car. So why would it have to be recharged every 40 miles. This is a loser out of the gate. I have lots of questions about this car that may cost as much as $40K. Hope GM is not hanging the tax payers financial hat on this one.
