Volts

New York soon will hum, the Electric Car has come
- “Stupid” by the Long Winters
Maybe it was too soon to write off GM as they recently announced that the new plugin hybrid Chevy Volt will get an EPA rating of a staggering 230 mpg. The Toyota Prius only gets 51 MPG in the city so this announcement is pretty incredible. As it is a plugin hybrid and if you have a short commute, you could potentially never be using the gas ”generator” if you plugged your Volt in each night.
Imagine what a game changer that would be to the automobile and oil industries?
I’m also imagining how eerily quiet the streets will become in this world of electric cars. I’ll have to be more careful jaywalking…
