There is a new condender coming a long in the world of the electric car. It is the Volt made by Gm. The interesting thing is that it uses a petrol engine as a generator for when the batteries get depleted. You get a claimed 60mpg running on the petrol engine.

As a result the cars is only ever driven by electric motors, the petrol engine guarantees you have the range and convenience of a petrol car and with the introduction of road side charging points we could see a rapid take up of electric cars.
