I was under the impression that the Volt cost considerably more than a Prius.

Either way the payback is going to take a very long time. Free electricity at work might be nice, but probably only saving you a couple of bucks a day for a vehicle with limited range.

+ In a hot climate like TX, the air conditioner is going to suck that battery dry in no time.

The Volt does. I was basically making fun of the propagandizers on cars.com.

First law of Economics TANSTAAFL: There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Get enough people charging their cars at work and companies will start charging for it.

The range is pretty useless for a ‘westerner’. I drive 40 a day on my commute so if I did have one of these would just barely make if it didn't get charged while I was at work. Can't drive to anybody out in the country. What do you do if you get stuck on the side of the road “out of gas”?
