For a thorough exhibition of GM’s corporate stupidity, I encourage everyone to see the DVD “Who Killed the Electric Car?”. GM had a great forward thinking solution in their EV-1 electric vehicle and destroyed it, literally. The recent anouncement by GM that they have “green-lighted” the electrically motivated Volt plug-in hybrid for a 2010 release, after already having produced (and destroyed) a commercially available electric vehicle in 1996, gives me absolutely no reason to feel sorry for them and their current economic troubles. They simply shot themselves in the foot and have the limp to prove it.
