Chevrolet Malibu Ev Electric Car Hybrid

Chevrolet Maibu 2011

General Motors for its recent work on the plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt, and who years after the film “Who Killed the Electric Car?” skewered the automaker for pulling the plug on its electric EV-1 model, may now see another reason to turn a cold shoulder: The automaker has just hit the brakes on production of the hybrid version of its Chevy Malibu for 2010. But don’t get ready for combat just yet.

At this point, spokeswoman Kristin Rogers tells us, GM is working on a “next-generation GM Hybrid system that will be more cost-effective, more powerful, and have a broader vehicle application,” to debut in new models starting in 2011 in North America.

“As we get into the next generation of technologies,” Henderson said in late March, noting the Volt and GM’s lineup of flex-fuel and hybrid vehicles as examples, “that requires money. That requires investment.” At the time, we wrote that this suggested awareness that GM will need to buckle down and boost margins across its entire lineup in order to finance continued development of the Volt.
