volt

Here is what drives me crazy about NPR. They ran a story on the new plug and drive Volt that GM is developing. They have it at a 40 miles radius off of batteries with the motor needed only for charging. It is still a ways away from commercialization but is getting a lot of R&D dollars. Now, I think this is what we all want GM to be spending money on but rather than celebrate the effort NPR has to dig up some MIT battery expert who proceeds shoot holes in GM's optimistic predictions for the battery. They are so pompous and self rightous it is unbelievable. I think that they only people they think are doing any good are themselves.
