I dont now who wants to spend that kind of money
Is pouring oil and natural gas into electric power plants to charge the Volt a better alternative?
Nuclear energy is the best thing for a future of electric vehicles. But we have that little incident in Japan that could put the kabash on those plans.
I don't want to have a brownout at 5pm when every electric car owner arrives home from work and plugs into the grid.
