Even with the 0bama credits, 31k+ for a glorified golf cart. BTW the batteries can only be recharged so many times. When it's time to replace them how are they disposed of or recycled,the cost of replacement and how well would they withstand a serious collision?

The batteries have a 8 year 100,000 mile warranty. The Batteries will be recycled by GM. The Volt passes all Dept of Transportation Tests with flying colors. And the Volt is no glorified Golf Cart. It's one of the most sophisticated vehicles ever for personal transportation. You need to get educated: Please go to: GM-Volt to learn about the Volt so you know what you are talking about.

Gee, you must’ve gotten a hot tip on GM stock. How much does it cost to replace the batteries when the time comes? A properly overhauled engine would cost $4-6k with labor, and could last well over 300k if properly maintained.

Are they available without the battery?

Sorry, but GM has proven to me, a once customer, that they do not provide reliable electronic parts. They rapidly fall apart, are ill designed, are very expensive to replace, and do not work for long.

Oh, it passes all of the US Government DOT tests? That’s reassuring and a guarantee that I will not buy one.

40 miles per charge then a gasoline engine kicks in?
