Of course, that does not even consider the cost of the replacement battery or other costs ...
Or time. According to GM, the Volt battery takes 10 hours to charge a drained battery.
If your friends live 30-40 miles away, they'll either be at your place half the night, or won't be able to make the "no gas" claim.

Do you happen to know how to converg KwH into actual time? I know that it would depend on the “draw” of the item using the electricity and that there are very likely many other variables, however it would be nice to know the actual cost of that 10 hour Volt charge.
