Obama said he’s going to get a Chevy Volt in five years, when he’s no longer president, and he’s allowed to drive his own car again.

If all goes well, he will be able to drive a Chevy Volt a lot sooner than that!

On a more serious note, has electric car battery and power technology not advanced in the past 115 years? The Volt has the same range as the old electric cars of the Gay ‘90s?

It’s hard to believe that technology hasn’t advanced, and that the liberals are all in on this old technology as the solution to global warming and God knows what else.

There have been huge advances on amp delivery but not on range.

I'll be honest with you, electrics can scream now and there's no gearbox they just shit and git.
They will light up the tires, but they have no range and you cant "Fill them up" in 5 mins

They aint practical.

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...

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...
