Chrysler: Trying to Stake Its Claim in Electric Cars

Agreed, having only the electrical engine drive the wheels is so much better. and then have a gaz generator provide electricity if the batteries are dead. I've bought Toyota's and Honda's all my life. For the first time in my life, I'm considering buying an american car: the GM volt (if it's close to 32K$) and available in Canada that is... Before you complain about coal, my electricity comes from Hydro, no pollution. I don't like the fact that the Prius and Civic Hybrid need the gaz engine to run all the time to help drive the wheels. I want all electric and am willing to pay extra for it. I have a daily commute of less than 15 miles so I'll be able to go full electric all the time (except on those long weekend drives where the gaz generator will kick in which will be totally fine). Thanks GM and chrysler for going that way, you just might finally get one new customer. The only thing I hope is that GM and Chrysler will fire all these people that were not really believing in this electric stuff (I can only imagine how they are suddenly all saying it was their idea all along; yeah right, truth is, it's probably a rogue department that had to plead for money all these years while the rest of the org was spitting on them).
