On the flip side....how often do you plan to go above 70mph in the Volt? This "revelation", if true...doesn't matter.  |
I'm always going between 70 and 80 on the turnpike so the system would be switching back and forth quite often if it is under my control and not on cruise. Hopefully the change back and forth is smooth and not so taxing on the system..

This is not good enough for me at this point to take the plunge. Even a 30 minute charge is not as quick as simply filling up your tank at any gas station. I'll have to wait until the technology improves before I buy one of these over any gasoline powered vehicle. I also don't like the risks of spontaneous battery explosions which seem to occur with cell phone lithium ion battery packs. A much larger one inside a car can spell trouble if there is any defect.
