Unfortunately, I live in an area with high electric rates (soon to go much higher when long-standing rate caps expire). Based on some rough calculations (and some guesses), a full charge on the Volt (8kwh) would cost me a little over one dollar, three times the 40 cent figure that GM is floating. Still not bad, though.

Yeah, 40c for 8KWhr is at the VERY low end of conceivability. A nickel per KWHr? Maybe right next to a hydro dam somewhere??!? Around me, it’d be a buck as well.
