Description

Everyone but GM wants a plug-in car like the VOLT.

If you want one too, tough! GM won't make it!

If GM won't build the Volt, laugh at them for lying!

There are hundreds of RAV4-EV still on the road, still running fine, more owned by the public than there are fuel cell cars.


Most commutes are short, and the user can size the battery pack for their commute. For occasional longer trips, an add-on Gas genset runs the car directly, if the battery is depleted.


The much simpler serial plug-in hybrid gets rid of the Toyota bass-ackward Prius or GM hybrid transmission. The only connection between the genset and the drivetrain is by wire, all traction power comes from the electric motor-controller, much simpler than the over-complicated Prius.


Anyone who thinks GM will build this has no brain, unfortunately. GM is on a shuck!


GM claims it needs a 400 lb. lithium battery, but the 1997 EV1 went over 110 miles on Panasonic Lead batteries, and the 1999 EV1 went over 160 miles on NiMH batteries. Both weighed about the same as the imaginary VOLT.


GM pretends ignorance of existing and proven EVs, still trying to hide the EV1! GM forbids refitting of the 40 gutted (all 1997) EV1 shells as battery EVs.
