Not to mention the fact that its predicted sticker price will be in the $40-$50K range. An absolute waste of R&D, IMO. Why go to all that trouble if your target customers make up only 10% of car buyers, if that? This will be a basic Chevy, and their target group is Mercedes, Lexus, and Cadillac owners??!! I'm glad I dumped my GM stock long ago.
At least it's better than the Tesla, which - at $100K - is nothing more than another self-indulgent toy for the rich.
To be practical and worthwhile, a plug-in hybrid or all-electric car will have to sell for under $25K if it's to really make a genuine difference in the world. Where's Henry Ford when you need him?
When you find an answer, let me know - I'm using a gallon of gasoline each way to get to and from work. That's $140/month.
