According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), US electricity generation in 2010 was 70% fossil fuels (coal 44.9%, natural gas 23.8%); 20% nuclear; and 10% renewable, of which 6.2% Wind accounted for 2.3%. EIA forecasts that the mix in 2035 will shift to include 39% coal; 27% natural gas; and 16% renewables.

They fell 23% from a peak of 14 metric tons per person (roughly equal to driving 34,000 miles) in 2001 to 10.8 metric tons per person in 2016 (roughly equal to driving 26,000 miles). Per capita emissions continue to be among the lowest in the country. That is approximately half as much as the national average.

As gasoline prices fell starting in late 2014, motorists logged an additional 2.7 billion vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in 2015, with a concomitant increase in gasoline consumption. This increase resulting from a strong economy and lower gas prices is combined with a housing crisis that has led to longer commutes.

World oil prices have fallen sharply from their July 2008 high mark. As the world’s economies recover, higher world oil prices are assumed to return and to persist through 2030. In the IEO2009 reference case, world oil prices rise to $110 per barrel in 2015 (in real 2007 dollars) and $130 per barrel in 2030.

Why pay $40K for a GM volt… which will look nothing more than a Malibu anyway and only get 40 miles before the gasoline engine kicks in. For $50k you can get a Tesla sedan which will get hundreds of miles strictly on electric. — Goodbye 2.

An (expected) high price tag. The reason theyre starting with high priced sports cars is because aiming at that market is the easiest way for them to fund R&D and scale up production so they can make smaller more practical EVs for the masses. Small size. New technology. A troubled company. One anecdote from the drive is worth relaying.

While a series hybrid is good, the Toyota Prius gets 100 miles per gallon because after the 20 miles of pure EV mode, it kicks into a hybrid-electric car. Turn the car into a 80 mile range EV.

But it is a price that must be paid, and GM should be commended for remaining committed to the Volt. The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles.
