This blog is a response to the following question posed by Lloyd S. Foight on LinkedIn: Will the Electric Vehicle Revolution really happen now, with the advent of the Chevrolet VOLT in 2010?
My response:
The industry is primed for a dynamic shift. Short-term hurdles in energy regulation could give the green light for other manufacturers to swiftly enter the market. Softening sediment on nuclear power could provide national infrastructure improvements for clean and affordable power, while a distributed battery storage system has the potential to advance smart-grid initiatives.
The reality, though, is that markets are fickle and change is slow; if the benefits don’t have immediate payback, the VOLT might become a car collector’s prize. For now, I’ll lease mine!
Your thoughts?

It will become a collectors item. Advancements in this market will change so fast that in five years the Volt will take the place of the Yugo. Besides you can’t expect any drastic innovations from “Government Motors”.
