Here's an idea that's been getting some discussion on the EVDL (and elsewhere): a less expensive, lighter, all electric Volt, minus the ICE hardware.

Add the option to upsize the pack if 40 miles range isn't enough for your needs. (Although there goes your "cheaper" Volt in that case.)

It'll be interesting to read about the first Volt buyer who chucks the ICE & related parts overboard.
