As you can see from the video above, the main concern is the selling price of the Chevy Volt. Without economy of scale, GM will find it tough to bring the cost down…at least for the time being. When the demand picks up, the price will definitely come down. As an alternative, we can convert our gasoline driven car to run on pure electricity.
