GM has joined forces with the Electrical Vehicle
Institute and more than 30 utility companies to work
on tax incentives for electric drive vehicles, such as
the Chevy
Volt, in addition to recharging stations and and
how to stagger recharging to prevent local substation
overload. Likewise, "The speed of the recharging,
voltage, amperage and other issues all have to be
worked out" as well according to the AP.
"This vehicle is real. It's coming into
production," said Britta Gross, a GM engineer who
is helping to build the infrastructure for cars of the
future. "We know that when the vehicle is in the
showroom and ready for sale, it's got to work
seamlessly with the infrastructure. It's the whole
picture. We've got to make sure the infrastructure is
ready."
Is the Volt becoming bigger than just the car?
