I always thought the Volt was promoted badly. Like low energy light bulbs, the government gets involved and makes it seem like (or is in actuality) a mandate. This is why Obamacare was so hated.

Like the LED light bulbs, there is a genuine conservative argument to be made for the use of electric assisted cars, but the argument has to be based on a good outcome - "you'll save money and not experience inconvenience."

You can bet that if I still commuted, I would likely have a Volt. Keep us updated... I like hearing about it.
