Volt’s problem is price.
Prius is proved by over 1 million sales, at much lower cost.

I’m thinking of getting a Leaf after they’ve been out for a while. Even the range on the current model will take care of all of my weekly commuting and errands just using nightly wall plug charges. I drive further out every week or so, and that’s where the gas-powered car comes in.
I’ve run the numbers and it looks equivalent to 100 mpg at today’s gas prices, without the need for oil changes and such.
Now all I need is to buy a PA and go “vroom vroom.”
But Prius is guaranteed sales from liberals that love everything ugly, and without purpose.
Volt needs to be uglier.
the volt’s problem is that conceptionally it is the same as the Edison electric.
