Back in December 2006, I was still relatively new on the automotive journalism scene but I got invited to a General Motors background briefing in New York City. Jon Lauckner, Beth Lowery, Tony Posawatz and others from GM spent the next two hours describing a new kind of electric (please, please don't call it a hybrid) car that was designed to overcome the problem of "range anxiety."
Three weeks later Bob Lutz rolled onto the stage at Detroit's Cobo Hall in the original Chevrolet Volt concept. Over the next four years I had the opportunity to talk many of the leaders on the Volt development team, and drive various prototypes while writing hundreds of stories for AutoblogGreen, Autoblog and GreenFuelsForecast. I've now compiled much of that material along with articles about related technology and concepts into a new eBook.
Recharging the Car is now available on the Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/charging-into-the-future-sam-abuelsamid/1104806909?ean=2940013095755&itm=1&usri=abuelsamid) stores. As retail availability of the Volt expands nationwide over the next few months, it might worth reviewing how the Volt came to be and how it works.

Interesting. Maybe I'll check it out after I finish Lutz's book. Just finished the chapter on his account of Volt development.
