Flex Brothers: Chevy Volt and Cadillac Provoq

The Chevy Volt is over-rated. Why? Because the car, rather than the technology, is always the focus. For example, while the Toyota Prius is a great car, it's the Hybrid Synergy Drive that matters most, and the same can be said of the E Flex Drive.
Most important, the E Flex drive is not limited to the Volt. Already, GM has showed off the Opel Flextreme which is also an E Flex vehicle. And GM is now ready to show off another E Flex vehicle at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas tomorrow.
The Cadillac Provoq is also to be built on the E Flex drive, but it might not be a plug-in hybrid, like the Volt. Instead, the Provoq, according to some unconfirmed rumors, will be a fuel cell vehicle.
While GM's current fuel cell program, such as the Chevy Equinox fuel cell vehicle, has been a unique program, the next generation of GM's fuel cell vehicles will utilize the E Flex drive. E Flex has the potential to produce non plug-in hybrids, plug-in hybrids, full electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles.
In China, GM has already showcased the Volt as a fuel cell vehicle, rather than a plug-in hybrid vehicle, and that's the beauty of E Flex, adaptability. Tomorrow, we'll know more about how the Provoq fits into the E Flex platform.
