Chevrolet Volt In a Gasoline-Only Scenario
s122604 sends in a performance review of the Chevy Volt, paying particular attention to what happens after the initial plug-in capacity has been depleted. This reader adds, "The review indicates that the performance is adequate, and perhaps better than anticipated. If the Volt can deliver technically, especially with the possibility that it could retail for less than expected (WSJ subscription may be required), does GM have a potential hit on its hands?" "How well will General Motors' Chevrolet Volt drive once it gets past its 40 mile all-electric driving range and starts to rely on power generated by its gasoline engine? That's been a question for both critics and fans of the Volt, and with just 11 months to go before this car hits the market, I got the answer."
What is it about "European-style socialism" that seems to make people happier?
Maybe it has more to do with Americans clutch their guns and seem to believe that at any moment the government is going to burst in and take them away. Or at least the Republicans believe that. The most angry and unhappy (and paranoid) people on the planet seem to be Republicans.
Tesla was a genius. Edison however was a overrated hack who liked to torture puppies.
