I have looked at EV's for
I have looked at EV's for quite some time and took a test drive in a Nissan LEAF. I love the quiet, the acceleration and yes, the numbers DO make sense if you are looking at ONLY the cost of the electric fuel.
However, 99% of what is left of the working class simply cannot afford/justify the cost of purchasing and maintaining an EV. If you have the discretionary income to splurge on the luxury of an EV, I'm very happy for you.
When the economics of ownership fall in line with ICE vehicles, then the remaining wage-earning 25 year olds "may" also get on board at which time the EV market might just take off. Until then, EV ownership will remain in the emotional realm of having the newest toy or the religious realm of environment worshipers. Ownership of Chevy Volts will be limited to those who either don't realize or don't care that the purchase of a Chevy Volt is heavily subsidized (as well as propagandized). The Chevy Volt, I believe, will go the way of the Edsel. For if OBJECTIVELY compared to other EV's, it is an engineering nightmare and thus, will be a maintenance nightmare for anyone who buys one for the long-term.
