Excluding all the Volt owners who got burned to death by their penchant for, you know, spontaneously combusting. That's what I want...to pay $35k for a sedan (instead of $19k for an Accord) which, if I'm lucky enough not to get incinerated in, will need to be re-charged about the same time I get to the end of my driveway. Then I need to spend several grand on a new battery at some point, and we have no idea what the environmental impact is of disposing of all these soon-to-be-dead batteries. All in the name of global warming, which may well not exist, because if Al Gore was right, Fargo ND was supposed to be the world's leading exporter of pineapples and sugar cane by now.
