Work has already begun on the next Volt, and if I recall correctly, one of the major goals of that project is to get the price down.
I am optimistic for its chances. It will not take over 50% of cars on the road, but it's no dud and will do what it was designed to from both a consumer and business standpoint. 
It'll also provide a quick and easy way to jump into the next Volt, too. I have a feeling that, like smartphones...once you drive a Volt, you'll never want another car for a daily driver. |
I agree. Once you start saving the money on gas and with a low leasing cost, it will appeal to many and perhaps pave the way once prices drop for those same folks to want to buy one down the road..
