I have a concern about the "cord" used to recharge the battery. Not in it's durability or use, but in it's "theft prevention". Let's say I'm up in Fargo North Dakota, and I'm staying at a motel with a 110 plug in for car block heaters in the winter. I'm using the 110 plug in to charge my Volt. I come out to my car in the morning and the cord is missing. Someone has stolen it. Sure, I could go to a hardware store and buy another extension cord, but it's -10 degrees and that's a pain. Is their some sort of security device, that is available with my Volt, to secure it to my vehicle "while" charging? In your video's, it looks like the cord goes into a charging port, not out of a charging port. So a "carry along" cord is something that could easily be stolen if left unattended. It might seem like a trivial thing, but in these times, it concerns me. Thanks, Fremont Lee (Rochester, Minn.)

GM is still maintain the comitmment with oil corporations when spent the people´s money ( Government saves GM to close the doors coused by his innability to manage his operations, and the government money came from the people), so GM insists to use hydrogen fuel solution was proved is too expensive and same low eficciency lyke gas ( around 32% best engines). Fuel cell demmanding the same very large and expensive refueling network like gas stations today , to maintain this large infra estructure we have today that forces the prices up and up. Volt still uses gas. GM is trying to convince people that they never have to stop to refueling his new cars.
