Not to:troll: (sorry mods) but I feel I must mention something about the EV1. Yes, General Motors did kill it off, which saved money but also ended a potentially promising program (what prototype and early technological development doesn't lose money?) but they were certainly not alone. This past January I was at the Peterson Automotive Museum, and they had some fairly interesting alternative fuel displays. They had a Honda electric vehicle, and had this plaque for it. I think this settles it once and for all:
But, you also have to remember, GM took everything useful that they learned from the EV1 and now have a real world long term program for an electric car. Who knows how far they can apply the lessons they learned.
I just want to see how fast they can get the Volt to launch! Electricity rocks for torque!

Has anyone seen my sanity? I am hiding from it and don't want it sneaking up on me!
