Who will resurrect the electric car?
It appears that General Motors, one of the companies that killed the EV1 in 2001, could resurrect the electric car project by introducing the Chevrolet Volt in 2010 -- if all goes as planned. Considering the speculative gas prices, it's time automakers seriously start thinking about coming to market with electric vehicles capable of offering a more than reasonable range. Having gained experience from the EV1 and the ensuing developments on hybrid technologies, GM created an electric vehicle that uses a combustion engine to recharge the lithium-ion battery pack that powers the electric motor.
