EPA Seeks Public Comment on Proposed new Fuel Economy Labels for Autos

Posted Mon, 08/30/2010 - 17:16

You may recall an ad campaign on the internet that used the number 230mpg in several creative executions a couple of summers ago.  That campaign sparked much criticism and debate.  A common theme of those conversations was the need to adapt the way vehicle efficiency is communicated to the public as a wave of alternative propulsion systems hit the market.  How should the EPA display efficiency of Electric Vehicles?  Is it fair that a Gasoline/Electric Hybrid be classified the same as a Gasoline Only or an Electric Only Vehicle?  On an Electric Vehicle, does total range matter to a consumer and should it be displayed on a label?  Also on Electric Vehicles, does the time it takes to recharge the batteries matter to consumers and should it be displayed on a label?  Do consumers really understand 'Greenhouse Gas' emissions, what they do, and how they are measured?   Ultimately, what are the most important facts that are relevant to the average consumer in helping to make a purchase or lease decision?

Remember when.... the Chevy VOLT was just a Bold Dream?

It was not long ago that General Motors showed a wild new concept car at  a limited number of auto shows... it was January 2007 to be exact when the Chevy VOLT Concept vehicle was first shown.  A bold idea with the wild, at the time, claim of 40 miles all electric, gas-free driving PLUS an extended range mode that would provide up to 300 more miles.  At the time this seemed like crazy talk.
