   @henkwillemtenklooste – And I guess you have lots of experience driving electric vehicles to compare with your petrol car?

   The rumors are from 32K-40K. GM has been very ambiguous about price. They are only going to make 10K units the first year (90K second year) so there won’t be any problem selling out the first run. This is intentional. This is such a radical new car that they want to release it in small amounts to test the design. There will be a 7.5K rebate. As time goes on the economics of scale will kick in and the price will come down just like big screen TVs. EREV’s will be a force in the car industry.

   Air Pollution Regulations here in US are much stricter than Europe. However VW and Audi do have some new clean Diesels which will meet tougher standards. They tend to be the leader in Diesels. In addition Diesels got a bad rap here with the VW Rabbit being an absolutely terrible car. The damn thing made a racket and was a real hog. The new Diesels are much better but reputations die hard.

   Yep i was drinking when i left that one, lol. Thats cool tho, i wonder why america doesn’t believe in using diesels as much? I know over in Europe they’re very popular.

   This car will sell like hotcakes when introduced. Plus the Volt is just the first of a bunch of EREV’s that GM has planned. And I have it on good word that most of the major manufacturers have plans for EREV’s as well. GM is in the lead but there will be others right on their heels. EREV is the future.

   It’s spelled Diesel. And the European Version, the Ampera will be a Diesel.

   They could have put this car or something out better long ago but they just will not because GM and our Government are being influenced by oil company lobbyists.

    This video has answered some of my questions, but my only concern is what kind of long term environmental (and even economical) effects is this vehicle going to pose? The battery in this car has a limited useable lifetime, and replacement will no doubt be expensive. This is also no BMW- would a replacement battery be worth the cost? If not, what ends up happening to it? Driving a car for ten years only to dispose of it hardly seems efficient on the environment or the wallet..

    jasonman: Do you drive a Toyota Camry and just angry because your crap is being recalled? How is the Volt dangerous???? SUVs are prone to tipping and small cars like the Smart or Mini are death traps, so how is the Volt more dangerous than a slough of other options? MORON

    $40k?!! Oh ok, $32.5k if the unemployed US taxpayers foot the rebate to cover some of it. I was interested untl I heard that. One could get a used Corolla and drive it for 10 years with gasoline at$10/gallon and do much better.

    The target consumer will have to finance this car with credit that dried up long ago.

    Fail.

    Electric vehicle is a dream, which in our lifetimes will never be achieved on a massive scale . You can not build a car, including the electric one, without using oil-based polimers, not for at least 100 years, all these organic and biodegradable materials are a myth, and will never be mass-produced with the Peak-Oil in sight. Keep on dreaming consumers.
