Would You Pay $40,000 for the Chevrolet Volt?

Reader Contribution by Sean Rosner

<p>The highly anticipated Chevrolet Volt is getting ever closer to the showroom floor. Whether you think of it as an electric car or a plug-in gasoline-electric hybrid, the Volt represents a significant step forward for mass-produced fuel-efficient cars. </p>
<p>The Volt is different than other hybrids on the roads today in that it uses electricity as the sole means for powering the car; the gasoline engine works only to recharge the car’s lithium-ion battery pack. GM estimates that the Volt will travel up to 40 miles without using a single drop of gasoline, more than enough to cover the average American’s commute to work. Recharge your Volt while at work and you’d then be able to drive home without burning any gasoline. If recharged via a renewable energy source, the car’s power would be entirely emissions-free. </p>
