re: #131 GunstarGreen

One also has to consider the Volt’s position in the market. It’s a plug-in hybrid costing about 40 grand. It faces competition from something like the Prius, which is a traditional hybrid that runs under 20 grand in the subcompact version, 23 to 25 grand in the standard sedan versions. The market for the Volt is pretty small to begin with, and given that, it’s performed admirably.

The US is not quite ready for plug-ins on a large scale. We just don’t have the infrastructure to reliably support them.

It needs to be wind powered.
