It's the new all-electric vehicle coming from GM. Runs 40 miles per
battery charge, then a gasoline generator kicks in to recharge the
battery and keep you running.

Seems like a perfect commuter car.

I am still having problems getting the money to work out. When you
amortize the cost of the batteries across 40,000 miles or so and then
add in the electric bill you could be driving a real car. These
glorified golf carts cost more than my wife's Lincoln.

My assumption is that we're only enjoying a temporary lull in the price
and supply of gasoline, and that its price will once again climb to more
than $4.00 a gallon, and it will be in short supply and rationed.

Thus, a plug-in car that would cover *my* commuting needs would be
invaluable. My farthest client is exactly 45 miles away.

Makes a 90 mile trip. then you get to run the engine for a couple hours to
get the batteries recharged. Cheaper to get a taxi. Plus no parking
problems.

Yes, well, since you have *no* idea of how I would want to use this
vehicle, or where, even, I'll give your advice the usual
consideration...none at all.

A 90-mile round trip, by the way, would be perfect for my commuting
needs. And, gosharoonie, I have electric plugs in my garage.
