After reading most of the comments it occured to me, enough of this bs. The bottom line on this is what’s the cost? Over 30K forget it. I’d be surprised if the Volt sold many cars. Under 30 K you probably will be on another waiting list. I talk about electric / hybrids with co-workers and many are very interested. Price however is the key factor for everyone.

hi charlie #95,

#86, Dave K, “Conversely, one can buy a Yaris for their 5 day commute. The only problem with this is that you will have to drive a Yaris. Each 100 mile trip will cost $5. With time lost on refueling stops. And the dismal reality of driving a small, underpowered, and noisy car.”

Except you’re driving that Yaris with $25K left over. Investing that $25K would practically fuel your Yaris forever. Arranging a car-pool would leave you with all kinds of money in your pocket.

Lyle, I finally got around to reading your post. I have been busy. Probably not as busy as you, though. Good post. Did you ask him about a ride in the Volt mule?

The EV1 numbers came from Wikipedia. I would call that a trusty source. But even halving those numbers as you point out is still adequate and better yet, more than what the Volt will deliver 15 years later… if we see one.

Just because you include a link to an article on the web does not make it fact. That article is being disputed on the very site it is posted on.
