The glam and glitz continues as the Chevy Volt nears its debut on US streets.  While the company announced the beginning of production at its plant in Detroit, a few hundred have already been built and will be sold in a few major cities.  The car is expected to get 93 MPG when using all electric in that first 35 miles and 37 MPG when running on gas for a combined 60 MPG which could be expected for a long distance trip.  In my opinion, those numbers aren’t impressive enough to warrant a $40K price tag, but early adopters won’t care.  The key of course for mass adoption will be getting the cost down to under $25K and the price of oil will have an impact.
