RE: dman...Kingthorpe, to answer your question, no I did not get an opportunity to attend the AGM, but I've managed to get enough info about it that there wasn't enough said (just as there wasn't enough said at the CC) at the AGM.
In any case, yes I'm aware of GM's failed attempt at EV1 (which looked horrible by the way). They need to get away from the idea that an "electric" car is something that should be designed like it's 300 light years away from our time.
Anyway, yes it would be more efficient to use an electric car if you're travelling 300km both ways each day rather than driving gasoline, (esp. at $1/litre). I hope their cars do go into production and become a great success (for all of our sake).
All comments are always appreciated.
