So this is based on driving 40 miles a day only (how far does the range extender allow you to drive?)

Let's say...it extends the range 40 miles for sake of all fairness...

Good bye to long trips. 80 miles round trip? This car will be good for people who don't have to drive more than to work and back. Now you have to keep an eye on 2 meters of fuel.

but again in all fairness we have to look at all sides.
I guess you could stop every 40 miles after your charge is gone and pick up more gas.
We really need to know how efficient this gas to electric generator is how many gallons to kw. This will tell us true MPG.

It looks like this will become a conventional car anyway. How about all those people who don't own a home or live somewhere where you don't have access to a plug?
What happens if the power goes out?

There are so many reasons on why not to buy this car. It seems that the car will control your life and take away what conveniences a car was supposed to bring. If you travel less than 40 miles a day to work, You may want to look into Public Transportation or a bicycle. Not on a $40,000 GM.

Anyone have a good reason why to buy, besides the "environmental" reason?
