Don't forget to plug in the Chevy
Chevrolet says it will have prototypes of it's first plug-in hybrid car -- the Volt -- ready by early 2008. While hybrids technology like the Prius has been in use for some time now, the Volt would be the first mass-produced electric car, meaning it should drive up to 40 miles on battery power alone. Then when you get home, unplug the toaster and plug in your sedan. With both Ford and Toyota working on similar technology, GM is the only one that has set a public timeline -- with release scheduled for 2010. In fact, Toyota has even insinuated that the lithium-ion battery technology isn't advanced enough for a car to be possible yet, and that the Volt is just a PR stunt. To which GM seems to have replied with an all-American "up yours." Looks like we'll have to wait until 2008 to see who's full of it.
