It also would possibly have a 30 min/80% quick charge which is possibly more useful. Plus available in our neck of the woods (Portland, OR), cheaper, and also will be made in Tennessee.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00528270682079342971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-31116006253568393482009-08-11T13:22:06.024-07:002009-08-11T13:22:06.024-07:00How much does it cost to charge it through the out...How much does it cost to charge it through the outlet. In addition, it only runs 40 miles on electricity, and then it needs 8-12 hrs for a full charge. What the EPA should do is calculate how many BTU of charge it gets from the wall and compare that to the BTU of gasoline, and get a accurate MPG. Not one based on how much gasoline is used, but based on energy.SRodenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539110704405325213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-1789672313196908632009-08-11T13:21:00.757-07:002009-08-11T13:21:00.757-07:00I'm pretty impressed.

I think the sticker price and reliability will be the two biggest factors with this car.Andy Lilienthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962844660116593646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-26022355063890805742009-08-11T12:04:07.525-07:002009-08-11T12:04:07.525-07:00They are telling the truth.

The electricity was stored when you plugged it into your house.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11924573156215079689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-25347771628912432472009-08-11T11:25:47.509-07:002009-08-11T11:25:47.509-07:00I don’t know whether I believe that or not?

I’m not saying that 230MPG is not possible but manufacturers are known for stretching the truth about their MPG’s and GM being backed by the government I don’t see the EPA saying anything that might hurt the only chance for GM to get back in the game.adamaochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888345938235649545noreply@blogger.com
