General Motors Unveils Electric Car

GM introduced its Volt, an extended-range electric car. The company hopes the Volt will become the first mass-produced, plug-in electric car in 2010.

Unlike a regular gasoline car engine, the Volt's 1.4 liter won't be connected to the wheels. Instead, it will power a generator to make electricity for the car's motor.

A step in the right direction? Remains to be seen.

Move over big oil, big battery is moving in.
