My wife only 3 miles round trip daily. Once batteries life cycles increase, I'll be fine - simply plug-in the new modules. Go Volt! I commute 75 miles round trip daily.

It also leads to soil erosion lower food production if those fields are now used to grow fuel. We're not really saving any oil - it's just that the money and oil is now being run through subsidized farming. Sorry if that's a bit bitter - but the point needs to be made.

If not, I'll only get one of these for my wife. She would probably only visit the gas station once a year.

An E100 version. A diesel version so bio diesel can be ran. A double pack version. Replace the fuel motor with another pack just like the standard one for increased range and total electric. How about a hot rod version of the Volt? Put the most fierce electric motor/inverter in it the world has ever seen. There lies the rub. GM policy probably states that no car is allowed to be faster then the flagship Vette. Put the hot rodded Volt drivetrain in the Vette? I want an E85 version of the Volt. An E100 version.
