Today GM filed an updated S1 filing with the US Security and Exchange commission in preparation for its IPO. Buried in that 560 page document was GM’s first admission of the real world EV range expected from the car: GM: “When powered only from electricity stored in its 16-kWh lithium-ion battery; the Chevrolet Volt has a typical range of 25-50 miles depending on terrain, driving technique, temperature and battery age” According to GM, 25 miles is the worst case scenario, driving the Volt aggressively uphill on an extremely cold day and with the cabin heating going at full blast. More info at http://veh.cl/sw The good thing about big car makers entering the EV market is(in my opinion): The bickering on EVs by the car industry will come to an end since it is unlikely that they will compromise their own products. People which have been spreading questionable myths about EVs will be brainwashed by the aggressive marketing machinery of car makers and finally accept them... The bad thing is that cars like the Volt will not have a big effect on our behavior, the anytime- and anywhere attitude, if you know what I mean?  Twike 890
