Hmm, this would be in the LEAF category of 100 miles on a single charge. The Volt is still a better vehicle technologically, however we should place it in the Luxury electric category or another name since it will not be in the "money saving electric" category at first. I didn't even know FOrd had their own electric.. This is why I mentioned above that GM should lose some money selling their volt in the same price segment and whipe out the competition since they are technologically in a higher level in the "fuel range" area. THey can market the car as being able to go 600 miles on a single tank of gas for example while the other all electrics can only go 100 before they need an 8 hour recharge.. GM just needs to make the car affordable from the get go and not wait four years while these other car companies catch up and build a user base..
