Frank,
As another person already noted, the size of subsidies for oil and petrol cars is unbelievable.
Arguing to remove subsidies, which is basically how the Volt will end up in my driveway, if at all, is saying you want make sure the pool of owners is very small for EVs, which in turn means you want to prevent economies of scale from occurring, which loops back and bites you in the backside when you complain about the price of the batteries.

This is known as "priming the pump": more hybrids being sold will reduce all costs for electrics by increasing supply of batteries and electric motors.

Food for thought.
