US automotive analysts counting down to General Motors' 100th birthday next month say there's one thing certain about the next 100 years: the company's very existence could depend on the Chevrolet Volt, its new electric car. GM trotted out a prototype Volt in Detroit the other day, describing it as "more than 95 per cent" representative of what the company hopes to start selling in 2010. It says the Volt is an "extended-range electric vehicle" that uses a small petrol- or ethanol-powered engine to back up its lithium-ion batteries. I think that GM must develop their prototype even more to extend the electric range for more than 40 miles.
