[QUOTE="blackvette101, post: 13719906, member: 130072"] Also to add to this if you drive more then 40 miles you start running on gas and the volt will periodically run on gas to clear the tank to prevent the fuel from going bad. Those costs were not added in. And your comparing a hybrid economy car vs a truck. Compare volt to its gas copy the chevy cruze and the comparison is not good for the volt. A base chevy cruze will spend $1275 a year on gas at 12k miles A volt which is just an electric chevy cruze is $360 a year according to you so you save $915 After 10 years you save $9150. Except two things GM only gives you 8 years warranty on the battery and its only rated to 10 years. So at the end that $9150 you saved gets cut by a $6000 battery replacement. So now after 10 years you saved $3150 which is all good until you realize that even if you get a volt for 24k its still 7k higher then a cruze 1.4 then add in that the gas the volt will periodically use so in the end you lost money If you replace your truck with a chevy volt vs replacing it with a cruze eco. In order for gas savings for the volt to pay for itself vs an equal gas counterpart you need $10.00 a gallon regular gas. [/QUOTE]
