I commute about 20-30 miles a day. So if I had a car like that, I would need gas only on long trips or in my camaro on weekends. I think (hope) eventually the technology will develope further to increase that electricity-only 40 mile range so that eventually the gas engine wouldn't be required thus reducing cost and weight. Sorta like the tesla roadster (220 mile range).

For now I see it as a step in the right direction. If they can get just the cost down. We'll see I guess.
+1 VOLT
