> You don’t have to change the delivery system. While the driver is sleeping the car can be plugged in at home charging. If the driver goes less than 40 miles a day, which is the vast majority of commuters, not a drop of gas is used. However, unlike a pure electric car like the Tesla the Volt is capable of going any distance using the existing gas station infrastructure using the tiny gas motor to charge the battery. That’s what makes the Volt a legitamate car and the Tesla nothing more than a toy.

:word:

in detroit they had a buick riviera concept that was more of a show car but the same general idea as the volt. able to use everyday outlets and very small gas dependency.
