Otherwise, I am willing to pay $20K. Leasing a battery? I don't like the sound of that either because I buy a car and drive it forever, so the cost of ownership would add up. It is not looking like the average consumer will be inclined to buy a Volt. No, I will NEVER pay $30K for a car, unless it is made of solid gold and runs on water.

Will the Volt's battery pack need to be water cooled? If not, then the number the article gives is like comparing apples and oranges.

Also, battery prices will only go down and gas prices will only go up. Leasing batteries monthly does make sense provided the lease expense is less than your fuel expense.
