Plug- in cars with smaller batteries may be a better value, according to the study, which doesn’t cite the Volt by name. __________________ . . . . . .

Admitting they may have been better off starting with the Volt as a Cadillac...   03-15-2009, 09:35 AM   #26 vfx ERIC VFX     Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: CA Posts: 4,646 Quote: "We're Electric" and "Here to Stay." lol Quote: California automakers Tesla Motors and Fisker Automotive are speeding exactly in the opposite direction. Both sell electric sports coupes priced above $88,000 -- targeting well-off, environmentally minded buyers such as former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am. So we know Will has a Tesla (what ever happened at that customization shop?) but is Colin Powell a Tesla or Fisker buyer? edit add: will.i.am brought his ride to Platinum Motorsport -nothing on their site I could find. __________________ . . . . . .
