Sorry about the double post! This goofy computer is too slow tonight.
This is so profoundly simple that I wish I thought of it. So true!One phrase that needs to come into the common vernacular... "I GET to plug it in!" So many people, to this day, still ask me "Do you have to plug it in?". I hate that I can't.
Nice, I like that too.I like the phrase, "The World is watching".
I think the cost issue needs to be handled with kid gloves as for every ad they post talking about cost some reporter will publish an article stacked with cost comparisons to a hybrid like the Prius II or even conventional gas cars showing it'll take 25 years at $5/gallon or 13 years at $10/gallon to recoup the costs.I agree that GM should lead with all of the other features and benefits to the E-Rev and Volt design, but don't punt on the running cost issue. Hyundai buyers, used car only buyers, etc won't be swayed until lifetime costs are obviously in the Volt's favour. People that feel reducing gasoline usage is a priority will pay more and costs won't matter as much. Costs will be important for the people that are interested in saving gas and insuring themselves against future gas prices, but it isn't a high priority.
