$35,000 Chevy Volt - How long until its profitable?
What percent of Americans can afford $35,000?The Chevy Volt is shaping up to be a fantastic piece of automotive engineering and, just as with most revolutionary engineering feats, it will be expensive.
Hence, is it even possible for GM to make any money off the Volt in the first 5 years at $35,000? How many Volts will be required to achieve effective economies of scale? Several hundred thousand? A million? A few million?
Hybrid vehicles, such as the Volt or a plug-in Toyota Prius, MUST be built, but wouldn't a $15,000 Prius - achieved via tax credits - be the best step forward for the next several years?

More people should learn about electric vehicles as a solution. "Zero emissions" is something that's going to be required by law one day (you know it will). Making the decision to go electric is far cheaper anyway, like 10 cents on the dollar vs. gas. (source: zapworld.com)
