In March, GM sold less than 70 Volt's. The Nissian Leaf is a better value.I am all for the concept of switching over to natural gas for transportation. This can be done I have read for about $3,000 per vehicle (family car). I think the best thing would be to do it first on over the road trucks which on average get new engines or very major overhauls every 3 years. The infrastructure placement would be much easier and the mpg saving would eventually have many family cars switching. The infrastructure costs would be great and the key would be getting the same stations would be the ones where the new natural gas filling stations would be. There is a lot of political lobby against it of course as gasoline is a huge business. There are very strict prohibitions against the mining of natural gas now, but we are the world leader in resources, I'd love to see this happen. I don't seen the electric vehicle ever hauling freight or being a RV. Of course with any electric vehicle, you still must generate electricity which is almost always going to be burning fossil fuels.
