No style, no performance, no range--electric cars conjured images of glorified golf carts. With talented options like the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model S and others currently on sale, it's easy to forget that a few decades ago, their image was very different. You can draw your own opinions on.

We've written before about some of the misconceptions around high-mileage and electric cars, among them that they're essentially glorified golf carts. Now the test engineers for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt have taken their extended-range electric vehicle up the twisty 19-mile road to the top of Pike's Peak, a grueling test used by.

The original CivicWithACord design used 18 8-volt golf cart batteries. All the AGMs and Gels I've tried though are stinky on the discharge, if not as much as golf cart floodies. The Optimas have a slightly shorter amp-hour range but could last twice as long and put out more current. So thats disappointing.

The fast acceleration capability of electric vehicles was a key component to reducing the “golf cart” image of EVs that existed before the Tesla Model S emerged in 2012. They aren’t aware that while they want 300-400 miles of range, that for most people that is overkill and a waste for 95%-98% of their driving trips.

What the Volt has that electric cars lack is the ability to extend its range by means of burning gasoline, the most popular fuel among cars in the US.
