Last Tuesday, Bob Lutz, GM?s product chief and Vice Chairman has set a target for the production of an all-electric car in 2010. However, there is a great concern regarding the development of the lithium-ion batteries since the automaker is not sure whether if it can be made safely and economically.
Lutz also said that they are expecting for a fully functional Volt by the end of 2007 and further added that GM would unveil all of the development process to the media. ?We have set an integral target of production in 2010. Whether we can make that or not Wilt Chamberlain Warriors Jersey , this is still kind of an unpredictable program for us,? Lutz told reporters at the Geneva Motor Show. He also added, ?We?re sort of outside our comfort zone.?
GM has also explained its broad plans for the all-electric Volt which it has previously unveiled at last year?s Detroit Auto Show unfortunately the automaker has declined in disclosing the production timeline for the Volt.
It is no secret that GM has suffered great losses with its gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles and trucks which makes some critics and competitors doubtful of whether the automaker can really push through with its Volt concept or will just capitalize on the publicity that the concept car has generated. To which Lutz answered, ?Competitors who write this off as a PR exercise are going to be brutally surprised.?
Electric cars to which the plug-in hybrid Volt also belongs have gain strong support from the US environmental groups due to the fact that vehicles such as the Volt help in reducing oil consumption as well as the emission of harmful greenhouse gas plus the fact that electric cars cab be recharged with power drawn from a cleaner-burning electric grid.
The world?s largest producer of quality GM mirror covers has dumped an earlier experiment made on an electric car which was marketed in California as the EV1 which has made GM as the center of criticism and the primary character in the 2006 documentary ?Who killed the electric car?? But according to GM Tim Hardaway Warriors Jersey , it will make up for its once-failed idea of a mass-market electric car with the production of the Volt.
