GM serious about producing Volt electric car soon, says key program exec

. . .
The non-running mockup made a splash at the Detroit show and 300,000 people clicked onto a GM web site to say they wanted the car to be built. The EV1 had its fans too, but only a few opened their wallets.

Vice-chairman Bob Lutz, the company's product-development guru, told reporters at the Geneva Auto Show last month GM would have a running Volt prototype by the end of this year and had set 2010 as its internal target for production.

Lutz and other GM officials were quick to say a lot depends on licking the technological challenges, notably with the car's battery pack, but cynics saw it . . .
This article provides a summary of both sides about the Volt project, not much technical content, just folks opinions. It is interesting that 300,000 folks web voted to buy a Volt. This is good and bad but certainly shows a degree of interest. From an architecture standpoint, the Volt looks a lot like the Australian Axcess.

Regardless, I look forward to test driving something like either one someday.
