I actually did a college research paper on hybrid/electric cars, there is SO much information out there that many people don't know about them that would persuade most normal people, and even the super hippie environmentalists NOT to get one, for example, in a gas mileage test only 3 of the hybrids on the market beat high mileage 4 bangers, or diesels, and only 2 of them had a better green score. Granted, the volt wasn't tested because it wasn't on the market yet. Most of this hybrid electric stuff is BS marketing schemes. I'm not going to post all of that information because it would be a wall of text.
I was against the cars before the paper, but after, well it was just more ammunition lol.
Anyway, I would never drive one... and DEFINITELY would never trade a car like the camaro or mustang for one, I personally am in a position that I can afford gas even at the stupid prices it is at, with no problems. But a worst case scenario I would pick up a high MPG gasoline or diesel car for a daily.
I know the thread has been leaning more towards the volt, but if you go Tesla, you would have to buy one of those charging stations.. from empty on a regular house plug it takes 16 hours to charge. So a charging station is almost a must, and they ain't cheap.
