The Volt gets 40mpg hwy ... BFD! there are many gas only cars that do the same at 1/3 the cost ... and the Volt , here in Florida , will have the gas engine running 100% of the time as it’s needed for the A/C to operate...

Yep, and they’re a disaster in below freezing weather.

Chevy destroyed its own argument for the Volt when they created the Cruze Eco.

Under $20,000, 46 MPG highway. 500+ mile range. No battery costs in the future.

The Cruze Diesel might make that discrepancy even worse. I hear it has a 700+ mile range.
