GM Cancels Chevrolet Volt 500 MPG Gasoline EQ Electric Concept - VIDEO ENHANCED

Chevrolet Volt 2007-2019 RIP

So Who at GM Killed The 500 MPG (Gasoline) Flex-fuel Volt?

Ok so do the math; the Chevrolet volt when burning Flex-Fuel (E85 Ethanol) along with its electric motors has a range of 640 miles and a gasoline burn rate of over 500 MPG...so why would we need to reinvent the wheel when a good short and medium solution to air quality and fuel costs was already in production more that 17 years ago.

Who or what organization did not want Americans to reduce gasoline use...was it the makers of EV batteries - China? The Makers of charging units - China?, The owners of 86% of the worlds lithium supply - China? The petroleum industry? Who?. It the Volt and other flex fuel hybrids were available for sale to Americans 27 years ago we would not still be agonizing over clean air or clean water, or gasoline supply...who at GM Could hate America so much that they would cancel what is obviously a better choice than BEV's, what message would they want to send? you tell me

DETROIT - January 7, 2007: At the 2007 North American International Auto Show today, General Motors' head honcho Rick Wagoner unveiled the Chevrolet Volt concept sedan and announced that production work has begun on a new generation of electric vehicles that could eliminate gas stations for Americans who live close to their workplaces.

Built on a platform that GM calls the E-flex System, the Volt is a battery-powered electric car that has a range of 40 city miles after a six-hour charge from a household electrical outlet – which would make it a viable, gas-free daily driver for Americans whose one-way work commute is 20 miles or less. That’s 78 percent of all American workers, according to GM car czar Bob Lutz.

The car also has a flex-fuel gasoline engine that extends the range to up to 640 miles. The gas engine does not drive the wheels – instead, it creates electricity that powers the wheels.

The Volt’s sharp-angle body style evokes current Cadillacs. Lutz said the car proves that “environmentally conscious cars can actually look good, as well.”
