Sure the Chevy VOLT’s future looks bleak… Heck, GM doesnt even want the word Chevy anymore

Don’t worry Nissan & FORD to rescue!

Both Nissan and FORD make full electrics with 100 mile ranges without bailout money 😉

GOOD – (LEAF i.e. “game changer”)In a recent test drive, a Nissan Leaf has traveled 116.1 miles on a single charge. The Leaf was originally marketed as delivering 100 miles per charge. In mid-October, Nissan revised its range estimates to “between 62 and 138 miles” per charge. 

According to Engadget, the pilot of this test drove “casually and slightly below the speed limit,” but not “like an obsessed hypermiler.” The air conditioning was turned on for the duration of the test run.

Just as Nissan and China announce they both have plans to invest billions in the U.S. and open massive plants in America…  The Detroit Free Press is reporting that GM will indeed build the Chevy Volt in China.
