on topic–
none of the shit mentioned in this thread will ever replace gas cars. i wish chevy got it right, but they didn’t. ever run a propane powered vehicle? thats kinda the same problems you will have w/ the alternate fuels. you will run out and be fucked one way or another. if this shit was so proven/good, our defense department would have been all over it.
biggest gripe about chevy-- what about the energy needed to charge the battery pack? you think that electricity grows on telephone poles? turbines need to be run somehow–be it windmill/hydro/nuclear. so if you are tapping the grid to power your car, you are effectively going to strain our electric resources. so Allegheny power’s kwh rate is definitely going up. you may save $ at the pump, yet it will come back via electric bill or some other bill. that carbon footprint bullshit will get hit one way or another. now if the volt could regenerate its electricity, it is a win.
