DETROIT, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- A spokesman for U.S. automaker General Motors said former owners of GM's electrically powered EV1 could help market the soon-to-be-released hybrid Volt.
GM has recruited 15 former EV1 owners to test drive the Volt, which will have a battery range of 25-50 miles. After that, a gasoline engine kicks in, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday.
