If you didn't have to have a range extender and could just stuff it full of batteries, it could be on the road now I would guess.

I've wondered if we might end up seeing different Volts....all electrics for city use only, ones with either ICE or fuel cell range extenders, high power versions for future Firebirds and Vettes, etc. I just hope that E-Flex is fully sound so I can enjoy watching it evolve.
