Our Chevy Volt

[Shadowofshoe]

   So we have developed the chevy volt-you & I. This wonder car has sold 6000 units ,with an unverifiable number bought by various gov't agencies.
 The more interesting numbers are..in no order:
**I have personally seen one on the road.
**The tax credits to battery & car manu's are good ,in some, for 25 years
** Michigan is in for  690.4 million-we all know they have money to burn.
**Our Federal goverment is in for 2.3 Billion-no issues with solvency here.
**These offering from us could buy 75,222 Volts @ 40K each without us spending a dime.

        Heres the kicker we have paid at a minimum $50,000 per unit if sales kick ass !!
   BUT the more likely number is $250,000 per vehicle if current trends continue-
    which I'll add my first Opinion in this post...is far more likely.

You forgot to add in the cost of the recall for the burning batteries...
