If you built 6,000 Volts a year for the next 20 years, according to the analysis, you'd be looking at $25,000 per vehicle in subsidies over the 20 years. 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.
