Subaru Stella EV
Subaru, not to be out done by their Japanese competitor Mitsubishi, has launched production of their Stella EV. Although Subaru is not producing as many EV's as Mitsubishi, it is still a great start. Deliveries of the $47,600 (converted from Japanese Yen, not including tax credit from Japanese government) car will start next month in Japan. It will have a range of about 55 miles and a top speed of 62 miles per hour. As of now, it is unclear if this vehicle will see the light of day on U.S. shores.
In other news, GM has said that even though they are struggling financially, the Volt is still on schedule for a 2010 launch. From GM:Yes. GM will continue to make a significant investment in future products and new technologies. The New GM will have a number of key vehicle launches in 2009 and 2010, including:
- Chevrolet Camaro, a dramatic, moderately priced sport coupe with highway fuel economy of up to 29 mpg
- An all-new Buick LaCrosse premium midsize sedan
- The luxury midsize Cadillac SRX crossover and CTS Sport Wagon
- The Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain, midsize crossovers with class-leading highway fuel economy of 32 mpg
- The Chevy Cruze, GM's new global compact car
- The revolutionary Chevy Volt, an extended-range electric vehicle that can travel up to 40 miles on battery power alone
