Volt video: Proof that GM’s electric car actually works

Considering GM’s track record, I definitely had reservations that the most anticipated EV would somehow dissolve and never find its way to consumers — like the EV1, ahem. And while it’s still not at the local dealership, GM pulled back the curtain last week and let the media take a good distant gander at the struggling automaker’s hope for the next century. By most accounts, things are looking pretty positive for 2010.

This week, not only do we get pictures of what the Volt

will look like, but our friends at ABG have uncovered video footage documenting the mysterious creature in its natural habitat. As best I can tell, not only does the Volt actually exist, but it appears to drive just like a normal car. As in, you probably wouldn’t even notice you were driving an electric car except for the fact that it’s eerily quite. That, plus the fact that the dash is covered up in LCD battery-monitoring displays.
