Too bad none of these vehicles have really ramped up production to date. What will do that, whether these companies, or completely new ones, is $150-$200 / barrel Crude by the end of 2008. Right this minute, even paying 100% retail rates for electricity, electric cars are from 1/2 to 1/3 the fuel cost. This will spur vast changes in consumer attitude, in addtion to the 'green consciousness factor' already at play. The great thing for the U.S. is that the current electric infrastructure can charge millions of cars at night with absolutely no changes, since it merely more efficiently utilizes existing investment, not to mention being overall, more energy efficient and overall more conservation of fuel. Great to hear!

Twice in this article is the comment "The Volt is expected to go 400 miles before completely conking out." Completely wrong. The Volt is a REV so it can continue by simply filling with fuel.
There is no limit to how far you can drive. It will not 'completely conk out' unless you run out of fuel and battery charge.
