I think of the two I would lean towards a Prius. They seem to have a good track record. A little cheaper too I think.

With a starting price of $39,145 the Chevy Volt accounted for $302,352,465 in sales, minimum.

What a horrible failure.

The truth is, GM has been doing pretty well. Thus, all the conservatwat denial of reality threads.

A daily commuter electric car really needs to go a minium of 50 miles on a charge to be viable. It also should fully charge in 30 minutes max

This is why I think hybrids of some kind with small engines are superior

The Volte was a product of private enterprise. I agree with the point that it was poorly implemented. I disagree tht thos can be blamed on the governmen
