Here are my 5 cents regarding the car and its competition: - Your competition is the new Prius and Honda Insight Hybrid. Both cars reportedly start under $20,000. Having a low price is more important than all the options. - My main insight: people who claim to be "green" are "cheap" because it sounds better to be "green" than to claim to be "cheap". - My second insight: it has to be "fashionably green": This is the reason Prius sells well, but Honda Civic Hybrid does not. - I will consider buying the Volt because it is more "fashionably green" than the Prius and because I hope you can make it well under $30K to justify the "more fashionable" premium. If it were just about the price, I would buy the new Prius. But, at over $30K, it is hard to justify the premium. Thank you Lyle, and thank you GM for reading this site.

In cold weather the ICE is the source of heat so in the Volt a full recharge at night is going to wast energy when the ICE will start just for heat it will be a waste if the battery's are full. Possibly if only a small amount of heat is required waste heat from the electric motor could be used. Showing the driving range lost by running the air conditioning is also helpful around town on 70 degree days with the air on or the windows open. The other things that would help would be tips and tricks for more effective use of power. The more obscure the better.

Why bother having to plug it in if you can get power for 'free'? How about solar panels on the roof so it can trickle charge the battery while you’re at work or just running about?
