Very enjoyable show as always. Good to hear Chelsea has herself a volt, and even better news to hear you have a sponsor. Nice one!

For some reason I couldn't get all the way through the Afternoon Delight video. My bad taste detector shut down the computer twice. Yet somehow it allowed EV Cast The Musical. Very strange indeed...

Enjoyed the show guys and my favorite EV advocate, MS Chelsea Sexton;-)

Congrats again on getting your Volt Chelsea, even if only for 3 months.  It is a nice car- the interior is very upscale, and while I think the black console looks better, the white looks better in person than in pictures- it has a bit of texture to it that mutes the whiteness some.  I suppose the heated seats would be nice, for the 3 days a year we might need it here;-)

After the podcast, I had to go check out your Wikipedia entry, Chelsea- all it did was make me feel old:-(  Yikes!  I am now 20 years older than normal people!  Maybe my kids are right and I AM old!

Yeah- sadly, I think Think is a long shot as well- but they do have a chance, if they can sell enough of their cars while there is a shortage of EVs to meet demand, and Enerdel, who partly owns and provides the battiers for, Think, can get the price of their battery packs down- of course, this is the challenge for all EV makers.

I remember reading that bit about the Volt costing more in EV mode than in extended range mode, and thinking that if electricity costs that much, then putting solar panels on your roof might really make sense, economically, now.

Sorry you will not get your Volt until 2018, Bo- the same will be true for me as well- except in 2018, it will STILL be a 2011 model;-)

Change the title of your show to 'Chelsea's got a jolt.'  It will give more of an alliterative teaser to the podcast;-)
