CNN, October 28, 2010--Electric vehicles are on the way. General Motors plans to release the new Chevy Volt in December 2010. While it isn't a pure electric vehicle (it has a gas-powered engine that kicks in after about 60 kilometers), most commuters using the plug-in vehicle could go quite some time without stopping at the petrol station. One potential source exists high in the Bolivian Altiplano.
