the Leaf is a commuter car and needs a high density of charging facilities for any trip

with its 320 mile cruising range, the Volt can go on any lonely hwy for very little gas $$ -- that means it has a MUCH bigger market area

another factor is that Nissan may be able to lose money on the sales of the Leaf; GM is sufficiently weak that it may not be able to do so

prices need to take into account the rebates & fuel costs/cost of ownership
