GM has been waffling on their commitment to the Volt, claiming they can’t find suitable battery technology. Yet competing electric cars, with superior battery technology have already been demonstrated, and indeed, the Phoenix EV is already beginning production. For those unfamiliar with it, the Phoenix can:
-Travel up to 250 miles per charge
-Carry 5 passengers plus cargo at 95mph.
-Charges batteries in as little as TEN MINUTES.
-Has batteries that last 250,000 miles (never need replacement.)

GM should be looking over it’s shoulder, because the first true mass-market electric vehicle will probably be Chinese. The Chinese have been busy bringing down the cost of EV capable Li-Ion batteries. For example, look at this website – this is a distributor of Chinese EVs. The prices are in American dollars, and they start at only $6,500:

And here’s an American company looking to import some Chinese EVs, at prices that will compete with gasoline cars:

What do you think will happen when cheap electric cars hit the market? What do you think the oil companies are plotting right now?
