Dallas’ inaugural Earth Day celebrations in the Dallas Arts District left us very proud of the steps that our local neighbors, as well as hundreds of other businesses and groups, are taking to ensure a greener future.
Along with a Zen Garden, group yoga, live music, film debuts and exhibitors, we were there with the Chevy Volt to take part in this planet-focused, day of activity.

compared to srlmiaily rated cars there is no similar cars nothing to compare to.The VOLT is far superior to anything on the road. Even CMU stated that the VOLT is over engineered. The more engineering the better as far as I’m concerned. Charging times exponentially longer than gas fill-ups You charge at night when electricity is cheaper and if you forget it doesn’t matter the generator will power the car . if you forget in the Leaf .. you aren’t going anywhere. Possible Strain on Power Grid especially neighborhood residential transformers Who comes up with this stuff . a large LCD TV takes more power than the charger for the VOLT and it will be a long time before we see more VOLTs than large TVs. No infrastructure for practical use of the car; Public charging systems are few and far between. Have you read anything about the Volt? The range extender makes this statement totally FALSE. The majority of commuters in this country drive 40 miles or less to work. My commute is only 10 miles each way and the vast majority of commuters in my area drive less than 15 miles each way to work. That means the VOLT will be VERY PRACTICAL for all these commuters.
