After years of deliberation with little action, automakers are finally beginning to roll out partial and all-electric vehicles. And, despite resistance from some pop culture, they are selling! It was just a couple years ago that Bob Lutz, the former vice chairman and proposed senior advisor of GM made a late night debut to defend his pet project, the partial-electric vehicle the Chevy Volt on the David Letterman Show post bashings endured from Mr. Letterman. In 2009, the Volt was merely a prototype, and was said to go over “as well as a lead balloon” by numerous critics. Jokes on them. Named 2011 Motor Trend Car of the Year®, the Chevy Volt, among other electric vehicles, proves the future has arrived.
