Pretty good to see the European version of the Chev Volt at Geneva. Lets just hope this one makes it into production and then to the shores of SA.

It is a plugin hybrid that gives you 60km of all electric motoring before the 1.4L generator kicks in. I would love one cause I stay only 11km from work

Nice Star Trek interior.

BTW - has the mighty VAG done any attempt on a ZEV like this ?

I would very much like one of these. (Preferably with the car being charged overnight through a PV or wind turbine system).

Well one of the "future options" will be solar panel roof thing that helps charge the car when standing outside. Should work nicely in sunny SA

A roof-sized solar panel will only make a fractional contribution to this thing's power needs on any one day. Still, I guess every bit helps.
