lol… thats a valid point actually.

How much does it take to recharge these batteries?

Is the amount of electricity needed low enough that the MPG savings offest the increased demand on electric generation (which is a big polluter)?

I would assume so… but I have no idea what the power consumption of the Volt is…

BigRon? Jay?
