Chevy Volt gets same mileage as 115 year old technology.
(fixed)
one of the things that drives me crazy about libtards is they hate the notion of an oilwell scaring the pristine land, so the propose a 5 million acre solar array that produces 1/4 of the energy.
They upset the natural landscape on a HUGE scale, they get 1/4 of the output AND you have to keep traditional energy sources in place to cover the 75% outage
How is this better?
They were all leased.
GM determined they were unsafe and had them crushed.
“Who killed the electric car” is Left-wing Propaganda.
Diesel is even better.
Dump french fry grease in it, boil down pork lard it dont care
Catfish fat, nut oil what ever
I am sure the Roberts car meets all current safety regulations and has all the luxuries of the Volt.
Plus has a range extender that can have you travel from LA to NYC.
I imagine that those 1890s cars were a lot lighter than today’s models. When I was a kid we had a 1928 Model A Ford, it was definitely lighter than a Ford today.
Oh, the liberals are in on it, for a variety of reasons.
But the bottom line is that huge sums of our money are being channeled to people for yet another 'green' boondoggle, and the only real 'green' involved is what is getting skimmed, kicked back, and raked in.
Solar and Wind energy are proving to be the same sort of scam, and the Looting of AmericaTM continues...
the F-35 has the same range and payload as the Stuka (Ju-87). It does have a certain advantage in range and accuracy.
Yes, but what is the maximum speed of a Roberts Electric Car? And can it even go up a hill with less horsepower than most hand-pushed lawnmowers? And how far could it go on a charge in 1896? It seems rather unlikely that it still has the original batteries.
I still say steam is the way to go...we could burn dried algae...or cow poops.
To be fair, the Volt probably has a lot more regulated baggage on board, which should count for some sort of improvement in performance. Then again, there’s that whole catching-on-fire thing...
Wasn’t GM getting more than 40 with their car n the early 90s?
I suppose the Roberts will run on its gas engine once it gets past the 40 mile electric limit?
What? It can’t?
Jack Benny drove a Maxwell, which eventually became Chrysler. I don’t know if they ever had an electric car though.
Ha, ha, ha! We told you so! The incompetent do not know that they are incompetent — Democrats all!
Just think. If Maxwell stayed in business and started to build weird looking microcars, they could have built the Maxwell Smart.
