the chevy volt was the way of
the chevy volt was the way of the future for electric cars if you truly want to make a good dependable electric car.
Yes it cost alot to make, Yes the gov. agencies disqualified it from all electric car incentives (politics killing a good thing. Greed Greed Greed)
But it is the way to go, So i hope some small company picks up on the technology improves a few small things, capitalizes on it and sells it for a bit more to make a profit without relying on gov agencies and their incentives.
When they do let me know i will buy a few, i would even pay of over $50k if a few improvement where made.
1. i am sure that because of politics Chevy did not allow "mountain mode" to fully recharge the batteries while running the generator. they limit it to only two bars?.
2. increase the gas tank to 20 gallons this will increase the range to over 700 miles.
3. the size of the battery allowed 50-58 miles on a full charge on pure electric, never having to visit a gas station unless you had to travel more then that. 50 mile is great if you allow the gas generator to fully charge the battery it when it switched to the generator, giving you an additional 50 -100 miles of electric use by the time you use up a full tank of gas. if not make the battery bigger to get 100 miles.
I am sure the feds wont allow such a car, because the petro greedy pigs wont get much money from nearly no visits to a gas station, thus if you don't buy gas, you don't contribute to the taxes on gas which fattens politicians pockets, or the transportation pigs, thus they say you are not contributing to fixing the roads fairly like others. BUT dam isn't that the goal to use less petrol?. oh yea that green BS is all fake, I forgot! its
all about money and greed, not protecting our environment
