To bad I hate chevy, Hopefully ford comes out with a good one
Good way to put it in regards to the money in OUR economy. If I were to use the Volt in my normal week...and my employer would NOT let me plug it in at work....I would still only use 1 gallon of fuel per week. 4 gallons of fuel per month and 48 gallons per year. Thats pretty astonoshing. The additional charges for electricity would go into the US economy and even possibly the local economy since I am on the Withalacotchie electric.

IMO though they still need to get total cost down and then increase the battery range to over 60 miles.
Im sure Ford has something...they will just let Chevy test the market...lol. No sense in making two potential bombs at once.
