"Silica based fiber"! LOL Who could have guessed that somebody who used that jargon was hawking a soon to be bankrupt orphan.
That was 2009, when Leno complained about electrics being pedestrian. But what's his daily driver NOW?
Oooh, you're a cruel bastard, Ed. :)
Yesterday a friend who's serious about doing a conversion with lithium batteries took my Volt for an extended spin. He HATES GM but he's reevaluating. :) The thing is, he was never planning on buying a new car, so he might still do the conversion anyway. He wants to expand his current solar system to cover daily 30 mile use of an EV, and that's a tall order in his climate in winter. I think if he could own the conversion for a month he'd realize the Volt is a better way to go for him.
I swore off domestic stuff entirely a long time ago but I broke my vow to support GM's investment in the Volt.
