Volt drivers averaged about 1,000 miles per tank of gas in March.

Although there will be a drop in battery performance in extreme cold it will not be as drastic as you make it out to be TG.

I am all in lets get more American cars on the road
Where did you get 1000 miles between charges???

There are other vehicles coming to market worth mentioning as well.

 

Ford Focus Electric

 

This will be an all electric with no gas component like the volt so you could literally take yourself off Foreign Oil/Gas all together (Personal Transportation).

 

 

This vehicle will have a range limitation of up to a hundred miles, but will have battery cooling/heating systems for much improved operation in a variety of tempurature ranges. Initial release will be in 19 markets around te country where charging stations are being installed. Can be charged with standard 120volt garage outlet, but will take some time being this car will have a 23 kwh lithium ion battery which is twice the size as the volt electric/gas vehicle above. Best Buy will market and install 240 volt charging station to home owners which will cut the charge time to 3-4 hours.

YES! American-made green cars.. made by Americans, clean energy for Americans, sold to Americans...   With 300,000,000+ people in America, we can do this!!!!  We can build, sell and buy.  We have our own resources and we need to return to building and buying American!!!!

AMERICA!! Let's take it back!! 

Mahshadin, I read that article just recently about the Saudi Prince who is the SIXTH most richest man in the world worried that the US would find alternative sources for energy if the prices of gasoline went to high.  The rich oil industry's goal is to get the gas at the absolute highest price they can get it, finding the highest price that the people will tolerate (even uncomfortably tolerate).  The Saudi prince obviously doesn't NEED the money. It's all about greed, and we cater to him.  Rather than looking for another source of energy, we have close ties with the Saudi Prince because his money equals power and he is using his money/power to influence big business in the US, and we allow it to continue. 

China had a tiny car they are putting on the market for $600 which is built with all the safet features in mind (for the US) . It gets 258 miles to the gallon, but we'll probably never see that car here... especially not for $600 because our government/large corporate personhoods are far too greedy to offer the american public something it could afford.  They want to put you deeply in debt to them for things such as cars, etc.  Then they want to take the rest of your money, selling you gas, health insurance and health care, etc.  Too bad people are too lazy to stand and/or unintelligent to stand up and demand more.  Some countries are starting to fight back.  America is still too pampered to stand up yet, but as the american rewards start quickly dwindling away as they are doing and we start seeing things get worse as they are, people will finally stand up and demand more, but just how motivated are people?  We have a lot of lazy people in this country who have become far to sedentary and comfortable with their little worlds.  When you live every moment in debt to someone else, you are their slaves.  I've cleared myself of most debt.  What debt I have is very very small.  I live within my means happily because for the past TEN YEARS I've been watching something ugly coming my way.  I'm preparing for it, and I'm also trying to wake people up from their complacent slumbers.  Don't buy the agenda on the right!!!!  It's A LIE!!!!!   :)  Okay Turboguy... your turn!  :)

There's more oil in America than there is in KSA.

We just need to get it out of the ground, and we don't yet have the technology to the the really massive pools under N.Dakota and Colorado.

Our electrical grid is *NOT* ready for even ten percent of drivers to switch over to all electric cars.

And then to make up the difference in money stolen from the people, Zer0's got a brand spanking new idea about how he's going to tax us all by the mile driven. That's not such a big deal for me, I drive an average of ten miles per day, but for truckers who drive huge distances per day, they'll take the brunt of this retarded legislation right on the chin.

Guess who the literal backbone and lifeblood of our economy is? That's right, it's the truckers. Keep screwing them over and eventually they'll decide to just shut it all down. There's a bunch of people hoping for defecation to hit oscillation. Trucks not running for a week would do that nicely.

Haha, Then what is, Mahshadin?

You find a VIABLE alternative energy source and you'd be a billionaire. The problem is that these alternatives simply do not exist outside the tinfoil arena.

Strangely enough you're poking me because I'm rooted in reality.
