General Motors Chief Executive Fritz Henderson announces the Chevrolet Volt, a rechargeable electric car, during a news conference at GM's Warren Technical Center in Warren, Michigan August 11, 2009. Over the next couple of years, though, tens of thousands of electric cars will hit the laneways of Europe, the streets of the United States and the gleaming highways of Asia. These new battery-powered vehicles have much longer ranges than their predecessors -- up to 250 miles in the case of the Tesla Roadster, but mostly about 100 miles -- and are likely to be the first to sell in large numbers.
