I think the Volt's value is more in principal than monetary, if you take my meaning.
Electric cars...they're actually doing this! Just like any cell phone, computer or other electronic gizmo; I would expect the price of the E-flex system to drop. And at that point; the Volt becomes much, much more sense!
But after all is said and done, after all the calculations are finished; the Volt only carries a few thousand dollar premium over a traditional car. It's just all lumped together into the intial cost...sticker shock for sure. But to be fair - it was never meant to save you money - it was meant to save you gas.
And now, for a YouTube video...
Look at that interior!!
