With GM's experience with the EV1, I thought it wouldn't be difficult to develop the Volt.

But GM has not even developed a mule. The mule prototype is scheduled for Easter and they claim production is 3 years away.

That's a little discouraging, but I do believe that GM has a winner with this technology.

I understand we'll see some all electric cars much sooner, e.g. Tesla -- probalby within 12 months. It all depends on the development of lithium batteries.

By the way, GM claims the Volt is not a hybrid since only the electric motor propels the car.
