Well, for one...I'm willing to pay a lil' extra for the VOLT. Heck yeah...
Two....Coskata IS going to play a HUGE role in the future. And I think there's going to be a lot of followers in this.
Once all the dust settles, I think fewer trucks will be sold (with a higher price tag), more hybrid veh's will be sold, and more gas/ethanol veh's will be sold. I know this might sound crazy to some, but I'd be willing to pay a little more and have my Camaro electric able. For the times I drive to work and back (which is literally everyday) I wouldn't mind being able to flip a switch and have my 450hp Camaro be silent. How'd you like them apples?!?! Suddenly, and completeley without warning, a Camaro silently screams up behind you with those halos just staring at you to "get outta da way!"
like my "silently screams?" hehe
Gasoline engines are here to stay. Gas prices might go through the roof. But, the majority of veh's on the road will be a hybrid of some sort...and eventually the most being electric.....most.
And as per the consumer paying those higher prices for the hybrid? It'll happen. But, not for long. Once the technology is here, it'll be just like the combustible engines of (yesterday and) today.
And another thing....I know it'll never happen...but if the big three got together and shared info on their electric/hybrid, the good old USA would swipe the majority of foreign auto sales right up...keeping those US dollars right here in our homeland. THAT, is just an opinion. I'd prefer for GM to clean house, but ya'll know what I mean......
