>> The killer for the Leaf is that, when it DOES run out of juice, all you can do is have it TOWED! Not so the Volt. Look for some hilarious "Leaf ran out of juice in a traffic jam on the expressway" tales!

The killer for the Volt is you still have to buy gas. And not just a LITTLE gas. Because half the time, that's how you're getting where you're going.

Totally defeats the purpose of buying an electric car. As pointed out in one of the reviews, it is going to get pretty damned old plugging it in and unplugging it, DAILY, just to get 25 miles of electric use.

Not worth the hassle for most people. In the end, they'll end up driving it on gasoline.
