Meanwhile GM has put all their eggs in their volt. Their electric car can go 40 miles on a charge before switching over to the gas powered generator. Cool idea. So if you could have one of these cars today, what would you choose and why? Personally, I would go for the mini. The mini has plenty of space. It’s sportier , and diesels have been tried and tested.
