Plug In America, known for its advocacy of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), applauds today's announcement by General Motors to re-enter the race to create non-polluting vehicles with its next-generation electric vehicle, the Chevrolet "Volt". Technically a serial PHEV, the Volt will have a range of 40-miles per charge, but a total range of 640 miles when supplemented by the small on-board generator. -Rense

16 Points about GM's Long-Awaited Breakthrough PHEVs

| |

We encourage you to point anyone you think has heard about plug-in hybrids or is reading today's broad coverage of the news from GM to this page, or to print and distribute the above flyer. Here's our "bottom-line" reaction: "We commend GM for being the first out of the starting gate in the Great Plug-In Car Race of 2007. GM's announcements are the biggest victories yet for CalCars.org and other PHEV advocates. Now our campaign is in third gear. We'll work with the auto industry, government, fleet buyers and advocates to get to the day -- soon, not in a decade -- when customers can buy PHEVs as easily as any other car." -- Felix Kramer, Founder of CalCars.org.
