GM Teasin'?

Autoblog reports: GM refocuses on Volt, thinks 2010 sales are doable. We've been burned by GM too often to get excited over some neat idea that will probably never make it to be any significant production.

We'd love to see Prius and Civic competitor and hope that GM isn't just bullshitting again on this product. The Volt is moved by electric engines that run from battery packs that are charged by a gasoline engine. Battery technology current blows, so it remains to be seen if GM can make this even if they want to.

The Volt can run 40 miles on battery power alone. Is that enough for your daily use? It would be for us.

Big whoop. Zap Smart Car has announced the X crossover with 340 mi range and 644-f'in horsepower. My money's on Zap coming to market before the Volt...

I probably drive less than 40 miles most days but how would bumper to bumper rush hour affect battery charge? Most of us city commuter types have to deal with this on a daily basis.
