The Volt's not sparking.

Seems like the electric car market just isn't there.

Going high end with the Volt and making it a Caddy first and then doing the Chevy model seems like it may have worked better.

Just like how automatics had problems back years ago and they are just barely (a few years ago) started getting better than manual shifting. Electric cars will probably be the same.

When battery tech gets better electric cars will get a little more popular. At least that what I think.

When I was down in Annapolis visiting relatives last month, their next door neighbor had a new silver Volt.
It was parked outside for 3 days with a huge orange extension cord coming out of the garage plugged into
the left front fender 24/7.....
No thanks.

Volt is interesting, however if I get an electric car it will be a Tesla.
