messageGiven that GM’s stock price is around $5 per share, and given that the economy is falling apart and GM is probably terrified that they are going to actual find a sustainable business model, it seems clear that we need to motivate automobile owners to pledge to buy a GM car if they make an electric car that is affordable. $40,000 for the volt doesn’t cut it. if they really get behind this effort, they can produce high quality electric/hybrid cars for half that price. we need the masses to join our cause!

Frank Huttinger replied on Oct 17, 2008I’m beginning to doubt GM has a reliable, affordable source for batteries for the Volt. This situation seems a likely reason for the high initial pricing. See https://home.autonews.com/clickshare/readLink.d…
zujfbw-0 I drive a $30,000 Prius now and would consider purchasing a comparably priced Volt. As the Volt gets closer to market, I would also consider purchasing a first generation model if there were incentives to early adopter buyers.
