NO Are Volt's more expensive per unit than other cars due to amortizing a HUGE amount of development costs across fewer sold units? YES<br /><br />Like any new technology, the Volt is more about creating a new market and product rather than selling just another mature product. I am sure the first cars (pre Ford Model T) were expensive vs. horse buggies. I know the first computers cost millions of dollars, required large special climate controlled rooms, and didn't do all that much all that fast. You have to start somewhere, and in this case what we are looking at is something along the lines of the original Apple II computer in the evolution of electric personal transport...that is reasonably good market acceptance, but not one in every home due to high cost. Just wait until we get $6-8 gas though.Druciferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04408944207539677663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996169231046448994.post-43789518884337655772012-08-01T14:03:11.911-07:002012-08-01T14:03:11.911-07:00A good review of the abusive world of SETON...

But really no one believes that guy anyway, I doubt he even believes himself, he is just getting a pay check to spew misinformation about a new technology that is challenging his paymaster.<br />End of story.markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023722051173618855noreply@blogger.com
