As a purely conventional car, it might cost about 20k. Thats before you add any of its advanced drivetrain bits. Add in the fact that the batteries cost about $15k on they're own, then the rest of the hybrid drive train and $41k makes perfect sense.
And when thinking about the cost, keep in mind that the cost of powering the Volt is significantly less than every non-EV on the road.
