Charles Krauthammer, one of the smartest (and best dressed) men in America chimes in on the Chevy Volt.
“The only people who are going to buy it are going to be very rich people who are going to park it outside their townhouse for ostentatious show of how virtuous they are while they drive around in their Cadillac Escalade”
Let’s compare:
Chevy Volt – 64km on a single charge from a government owned big three car maker in business since 1908 which is comparable to the….
Zenn Motor Company LSV – which also gets 64km on a single charge from a small independent Canadian company that just went public in 2006.
Stepping up we have the Nissan Leaf which can go 160km on a charge.
But the big boy on the block is still high tech startup Tesla Motors. The Tesla Roadster is a Lotus-like all electric sports car with high speed , hot acceleration and about 400km per charge but it costs quite a bit. So Tesla is releasing their Model S (sedan) in 2012 with similar performance at a price point around $50,000.

Maybe ZENN has increased it’s range. They claim 400 km on their site.
