6000 per year for the next 20 years? That's a pretty big assumption. It was just a little over 10 years ago that Toyota introduced its first Prius in the US. As of April, 2011, Toyota has sold a million Priuses in the US. Given that number, I think the assumption that only 120K Volts will be sold over a 20 year period is a pretty conservative one. Yes, there were a million Prius vehicles sold over about a 12 year period. Can you explain to me how that justifies, in any way, shape, or form, the massive amount of money American taxpayers have spent in subsidies for that vehicle, and then how it makes sense to spend EVEN MORE to subsidize the Volt, which is a failure if ever there was one? Even assuming the Volt is a wild success, why in HELL would taxpayers want to buy them for people? It really is just stupid. Which is the reason you cannot explain why it makes sense. It doesn't.
