At this point I'd gladly take an electric Camaro some years from now if they ever went through with it. I'm not bothered by what or where power comes from engine type-wise for the future. So as long as we get to keep a RWD Camaro that's focused on performance around for years to come, I'm good.

GM's very own fuel cell technology as showcased in the Equinox Hydrogen test car:

as the video states and articles on the car the frame (although lengthened for the telsa) is from lotus the car is actually assembled in USA and NONE of the lotus's parts (maybe the windshield, and some interior bits like the steering wheel) are used on the telsa.

People don't listen. There's about 8% original untouched lotus pieces, The rest is Tesla engineered and Tesla built parts.
They're being developed in San Carlos (5 minutes from my house) and they look cool as hell. I thought it was a miniature Lambo or Koeningsegg the first time I saw one. |

Is it the battery technology that makes electric cars so expensive? i.e. Volt

That, and the controller module. But yeah - batteries are the big one, that's why the Volt is taking "so long".
