I remember seeing a couple of EV-1s(at least I think they were those) at New England dragway back in like 1999. All I know was that their E.T.s were pathetic. I know I'm being harsh, but 22 seconds? They couldn't get out of their own way! It was a nice break from the noise though. They were basically silent going down the track. Ok back on topic... I really am looking forward to the Volt. With fuel prices going the way they are going we need more cars like this to come out to slow demand for fuel, which in turn will hopefully keep a few cents per gallon in my pocket when I'm filling up my Camaro. I just can't wait until this technology is more mainstream. 30K to save some extra money is still a bit of a status symbol, as the people who would benefit most(don't get me wrong we all benefit greatly, but I'm talking about college students with part-time jobs and blue-collar workers who have long commutes) from the technology don't make enough money to afford a 30K car.
