"Ironically, GM is now the most interested" of all the car companies with plug-in projects, she said. And she noted that the Volt team has recently chatted with a number of EV1 drivers and let them drive the 2011 Chevrolet Volt.

Next from that "car company" is the more affordable sedan model, all electric, plug in, due to hit the shelves in 2011 (you can submit a good faith deposit for one now).

Cost = 49,900 new.

  • - 300 mile range
  • - 45 minute QuickCharge
  • - 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds
  • - Seats 7 people
  • - More cargo space than sedans
  • - 2X as efficient as hybrids
  • - 17 inch infotainment touchscreen
    • The quick charge of 45 minutes can be even qucker if (or when) battery packs are quick-change (think battery powered power tools).
