Eco Factor: Fuel-saving hybrids and plug-in SUV to be launched by General Motors.
With financial aid from U.S. government, the once mighty General Motors, is planning to launch a new set of hybrids and all-electric cars in the next couple of years to inject life into the company’s dead accounts statements. The company is planning to set things rolling with the launch of a new plug-in SUV in 2011.
Other than the SUV, the company is also hinting towards the development of an all-electric small car for congested cities and a line of about 14 new fuel-saving hybrid cars by 2012. Currently GM is focusing on the Volt, which is slated to be released in late 2010. The Volt will have a 40-mile range on a single charge, which the company claims is more than the round trip commute of most urban travelers.

Electric Cars are not sustainable, limited in range, drain the grid, and costs to ordinary people in a financial world shrinking not affordable. The infra structure globally does not exist.. imagine the drain off the grid. Some cities have problems powering up in wild weather etc. Nor is it a green idea. For all the designs electric is not the answer,nor solar, nor hydrogen, but there is an answer.
