Electric Cars coming soon….

October 29th, 2008

The Today Show featured the the upcoming 2010 Chevrolet Volt and 2010 Dodge EV Electric Cars. Both can go 40 miles on electricity alone. That evens out to about 2 cents per mile. These cars can travel at least 300 miles without a recharge. The Volt will plug into a regular home electrical socket, and has the capacity to be fully charged in between four and eight hours. Although, it will depend on how many miles between charges. The EV is a 268 horsepower sports car that can go 0-60 mph in under 6 seconds. It does have power, but without the rev of the engine. With the economy in the state that it is, maybe these cars can save the auto industry. They definitely have some cool designs. If they save money as well, I would definitely be interested.
