The auto industry took a big blow recently and as gas prices are going up, it seems that now is the time for good, reliable, fast electrical cars. General Motors has recently unveiled such a car at the Detroit Auto Show.

 The car is called the Cadillac Converj, and it is not GM’s first attempt at making an electric car. The Converj is very similar to the CTS Coupe presented last year that was pulled off, and it seems that it has now returned under the form of an electrical-powered car. General Motors stated that as long as one owns the Converj he will not have to buy one drop of gasoline.

This statement can be entirely true, as the Converj uses an electric motor. The problem with electric cars is that they are very unreliable and recharging them takes forever.

 The Chevrolet Volt, GM’s previous attempt at building an electric car, would run about 40 miles on its battery before switching to gasoline or needing a recharge. On the other hand, the performances o the Converj were not made public, neither what kind of battery it uses.

This makes the car open to speculation; it may use the same engine as the Volt or a more powerful engine that would make for better performances.

The car’s styling is very slick, offering an almost futuristic shape, with weird angles and a body that, from the outside, seems to be very spacious. Critics say that the car was put together in a hurry just to make a good impression to all the political figures interested in the development of such gasoline-free cars.
