The roof on the Volt looks like it would be even lower than the one on the Chrysler 300. I hope that's not the case in the production Volt since I kept hitting my head on the upper door frame whenever I rode in a friends 300.

I think if the Volt concept could be mass produced now, Toyota would already be doing it. If I'm wrong, then G.M. is missing a great oppoprtunity. The Volt is a slam dunk if they'll make it and do it before the other guys.

Toyota is NOT replacing he NiMH batteries, because they can't make them any more. Chevron's lawsuit stopped them. You can't get the EV-95 batteries at ANY price, except if you buy a RangerEV or Rav4-EV and disassemble it for the old, used batteries.
 
As usual, oil company flacks either are ignorant or purposefully lie. The EV1 was just as good when GM forcibly crushed it as when it was new.
 
None of the auto makers want to make an EV, that's the reason they fought so hard to STOP California's Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate.
 
Get it? They DON'T WANT to make EVs, they are making too much money selling you oil. The majority of GM stock is held by funds that hold far bigger stakes in oil companies. GM's total market value ($18B) is less than one years' profit from ONE oil company.

GM learned NO lessons from the EV1. They are NOT using the original designs; those engineers are gone, they now work for ACPropulsion.com and Aerovironment.
 
GM would, if it were serious, rebuild the market for EVs using the EV1 fan club (yes, it still exists,
http://EV1-Club.power.net )
and re-start the EV1 line. Instead, they closed it down, and arrested would-be EV1 buyers for blocking the sidewalk.

The 1997 EV1, when outfitted with non-defective Panasonic lead batteries, and the 1999 EV1 with lead batteries (sold in Arizona, NiMH does well in cold but not hot) BOTH WENT OVER 100 MILES ON A CHARGE.
 
ON LEAD ACID.
 
IF GM WERE SERIOUS, THEY COULD RELEASE THE VOLT NOW WITH LEAD BATTERIES. STOP JIVING, AND GET IT: THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT, THEY JUST WANT TO GREENWASH THEMSELVES.

I hope Chevy puts a programmable timer in the Volt so that you can pre-heat/cool the car off the grid 120v prior to the morning commute.
