No it's not. I used to commute 50 miles one way. That leaves me a little

acid, like I said, what's wrong with GM? You know they are
anti-electric. People who had EV1's loves them so they got taken away
and crushed. Had they gone into production they would have improved
substantially.
The Volt will be prices at 40K+. You also know that GM COULD copy
Tesla's hand made car at 98K and mass produce them for 40K. I think
Exxon/Mobil's dick is too far up GM's butt.
Keep in mind that Graham is in England, a tiny little place. Forty miles is

one county can be 20,000 sq miles.

Can Li be cheaply extracted from sea water?
Why Li? The EV1 used to have a range up to 100 miles on lead acid
batteries and 150 miles on NiCads. So why can't the Volt do better than
40 miles????????? Because it rigged not to work.
You've utterly missed the point of the Volt (and the Opel Flextreme and
hybrids in general). 40 miles is a sensible commuting distance. It doesn't
NEED to do more on battery power, so why make it more expensive (higher
battery replacement costs) and heavy (batteries are very heavy for their
energy density) for range you only use on long journeys when the ICE can
take over ?
The EV1 only sat TWO PEOPLE btw. Not exactly a practical car. It was also
economically totally unviable. The Volt is a compact but full-size car in
comparison. We don't know the cost yet but it WILL be lower in real terms
than the EV1.

Congestion, badly timed lights, speed cameras. It's all too much trouble except for
essential travel like commuting where public transport has very rarely been a viable
option for me. There's a limit to where the trains go and the buses are infinitely
slow. One example, a 45 minute commute by car became 2 1/4 hours by bus, train plus
bus when my car was out of action. That's 4 1/2 hours commuting a day !
