And you came to the conclusion it was the Volt that created this ?

In time vehicles which run on fossil fuels will be a distant memory.

I agree, but I'd bet a dollar to a donut neither of us will ever see that time.

That will be fine with me and most pickup owners that I know..
Copy that.

Your argument doesn't make sense.......who wrote the poem Trees? You can't change it, it'll always be James Joyce and he the one responsible.
Way back then, James Joyce TOOK CREDIT, and rightfully so.
What we know in history...like certain people doing certain things.......those don't change. If Bush put a fence on his property 18 years ago....guess what, he can take credit today for that feat. BUT, you can't blame James Joyce for the inability of Obama to lead.

Most folks ignore the Volt, so it's like it's not here anyway!

Yeah, in over 50 years!!!! I don't think anyone wants a car that takes 13 years to break even on!

20 years is a very long time, many things will change by then !
Mind you, with co-pay on Medicare, life expectancy will even become lower in the US, and some retirees will need to avoid seeing a doctor.

Oh Girl, I played the " 0 % interest" game with CC cards after my divorce for two years and became debt free (except for my home, which is now paid off). But that isn't the same thing as the auto mfgs are doing, they are paying interst on their other loans.

It will be interesting to see if any of them will actually last 13 years.

That 13 year figure is just based on gas consumption alone.
An electric motor doesn't need air filters changed, or oil filters/oil change, nor a timing belt, or anything really mechanical, not even a spark plug !
If you just add the oil changes every 3000 miles into it, I'm certain those years turn to less then 10 !
Everything else added, probably 7 or 8.

If you read a little further into you would see the volt caught fire again several days later. Also, the homemade EV was built several years ago, and the fire didn't come till after the volt was purchased.
