Does your electrical bill climb more then 100 bucks a month if you have your AC unit pluged in and running?
Department of Energy already did studies...and so did GM. Increase in your electrical bill will be fractional compared to the cost of gas in a midsized car.
It wont cost you more then 100 bucks a month. You think GM didnt think of that part?

Smarter, better, more effiecent power grids are already in development.
GM isnt the only one coming up with an electrical car like this.

also dont these require some type of special plug ??? id like to see how this goes in real life is all al. if you cant see that then take off your Government Motors blinders and look around

No, you are just being a stuborn ass. Ive picked up on it, lots of people dont really give a ****, dont have an open mind, or just like to bring up the goverment motors nonsense as if it was some sort of joke.
GM supplies the plug. You get a set up for your house to charge the car up on 220, and a 110 portable inverter that comes with the car when you are away from home.
There are no blinders. You just like everyone else that has some sort of grudge against GM. I really am growing tired of being the GM "fanboi" and some how I always walk into the hornets nest because I support a company? Because I like to educate the ignorant?
Do you honestly think that GM just threw this idea out, without thinking of all the angles? Without being asked all these questions four million times since 2006?
First questions out of anyones mouth when they hear about the Volt tend to be:
Well how much is my electrical bill going to be?
How long to charge it up?
Whats the total range?
What happens when the power runs out?
Your questions have been answered dozens of times. Im not just coming up with this info as I lay here.
You think that they are going to invest billions of dollars in developing probably the most signifigant car in 100 years, only to be rocked by one of your super-smart questions? That they are gunna hang it all in the breeze on a hunch that this could work?
