For centuries, people in China have maintained a posture of awe and reverence for dragons. Long Ma spends most of its time in China, but the mechanical beast has been transported to France so it can participate in fairs there this summer.

Enter electric vehicles: a practical step toward reducing carbon emissions and reinforcing sustainable practices. The collective count of electric vehicles, encompassing cars, buses, vans, and large trucks, is anticipated to reach a remarkable 145 million by 2030. EVs are game changers in the reduction of vehicle emissions.

GM has announced plans for public sales in 2010, and almost every carmaker now says it will sell PHEVs or highway-speed battery electric vehicles (BEVs) sometime after 2010. In late 2008, BYD started selling the first production PHEV in China. Shifted earlier focus to all-electric Focus in 2011 with Magna. No announced plans.

The Volt is, and always has been, more than than an electric car. GM will leapfrog Toyota and Honda by providing an electric car to the masses by the end of next year. Ive found it facinating how car commercials changed the main MPG number they promoted before gas went over $4 a gallon as city miles.
