I HATE "Chever-lay" due to its redneck trailer-trash impression....but I want to drive that Chevy Volt. That car is really interesting. I only put about 2500 miles per year on my 928, but I put about another 2500 miles on my Aerostar minivan. It would be expensive miles, but I would enjoy trying that electric car for my airport ride.

-A $40,000 work car? A work car that cost me FOUR times what my Porsche cost?

Probably not, but it would be fun to try.

N!

PS: IGNORE the Nissan Leaf! This car has batteries with insufficient cooling, and the result will be owners stranded on the side of the road! Tesla motors doesn't compete with this car, but their owner, Elon Musk is already screaming about how that car is going to turn people off from electric cars. The Chevy Volt at least has a gas engine to power the car when the batteries die; the Nissan Leaf does NOT and that thing will strand people in hot climates.

N!
