The company also released photos and a number of technical details, including a projected top speed of 100 miles per hour and two in-car touch-screen controls. The five-door sedan, which GM calls an extended-range electric vehicle, is scheduled to be available for sale in the U.S. in late 2010.
The car will be able to drive 40 miles on its lithium-ion batteries. An internal combustion engine--able to run on gasoline or E85, a blend of ethanol and gas--will extend the car's driving range to hundreds of miles.
I hate to be a Betty Downer....
