Answer :

Possibly, but I think it depends on how you look at it. The technology exists to have an electric vehicle that will go for 140 Miles or more on a single charge, but would it be practical? Eventually it will, but there has to be a transition in technology and prices. I frankly don’t see another sustainable way of Technology Development and Distribution. The Volt has a new take on Hybrid drive systems that can offer an affordable way for consumers to use an electric vehicle, which will improve the technology and provide more funding and interest from the companies. The quality and performance will increase while the cost and prices will decrease over time. I’m sure you already know that the Volt can go much farther than 40 miles and that the gasoline engine can run at a constant RPM allowing for much more efficient fuel consumption
