I say screw 'em all, do your own thing.

Legally, you can copy any patent for personal use. Don't sell it or distribute it, and you're safe.

If you wanted to build your very own VOLT, you could probably find the measurements and abstract information necessary to do so through the patent office and GM's PR releases. It would cost you some money, but it may be worth it to you, if you really want a VOLT, because it's probably the only way you'll get one.

Frankly, I'd rather build the EV1. Beautiful, they are.
