Eight years ago today, the Chevy Volt concept was the subject of my first story to go really huge
Back then, Digg.com was still relevant and this was my first story to hit the top of the front page thanks in part to links from sites like DailyKos. As an engineer and a tech geek, I was hugely excited by what +Chevrolet was proposing with the E-Flex powertrain and thought this car had so much potential. Over the next four years I went on to write hundreds more articles on the development of the Volt and many other green vehicles that I compiled into an e-book.

This morning I'm heading out get an early look at the second-generation Volt before it gets a full public reveal next week at the Detroit Auto Show. Hopefully some of that original unrealized potential from eight years ago will come to fruition this time. ?
