    By the time the world runs out of gas... we'll have found a reasonably efficient way to make gasoline. Or we'll run on alcohol not from cornstuffs, or biodiesel (which really is in the same vein as the "making gas" statement above), or recapturing carbon from the emissions and recombining it back into complex carbon chains (uh, making gas, again). There are plenty of people who want electric vehicles, but those people and their vehicles might not survive -32 in their heat-less electric cars. Maybe we'll get serious about attacking that 20% efficiency of the gasoline engine?

    Oh for Pete's sake can you not see that this is a GM PR production, purposely dumbed down to look like an unbiased amateur car review. Nice touch of authenticity with his buddy wiring up the 220v plug in their crap filled garage. A lot of time and money was spent making this video look cheap and honest.

    that was awful. this d-bag: 1. wastes > 1 min on a useless intro 2. compares the engine to a spaceship b/c: a) he has driven one b) everyone knows how a spaceship drives like 3. treats the black dude like an idiot 4. yells out crap so you can't hear the cabin noise 5. drives into a gas station for no apparent reason, other than to make the attendant look like a fool (of course, the attendant happens to be a minority) 6. makes a bizarre conclusion that equates electric cars to a "safer" world Dr. Dennis, if you are reading this, kindly restrain yourself from shaming the profession any further.
