I think I see a flaw in the math:
'I pay approximately (it varies with amount used and the seasons) $1.16 per kwh. 16 kwh x $1.16 per kwh = $18.56 to charge the battery. $18.56 per charge divided by 25 miles = $0.74 per mile to operate the Volt using the battery Compare this to a similar size car with a gasoline engine that gets only 32 mpg. $3.19 per gallon divided by 32 mpg = $0.10 per mile.'
Didn't I read that to recharge the electric, you need 10 hours? Not 16 ? That makes the charge cost $ 11.16, not $18.56.
They still suck.
