As I recall it was a cost of 75 cents to $2.50 (USD) - At the current price of gas in America, it currently is very close to being $2.50 a gallon WHERE I LIVE AT, so those numbers are lousy! Is Chevy trying to say the car can travel 40 miles for the price of a gallon of gas, but on electricity instead?? I get over 45MPG on my all gas Cobalt XFE! - Maybe that's why GM had those calculations removed from their home page for the Volt- It USED to be listed. Of course if gasoline goes up faster than the cost of electricity they may be on to something. I'll be darn if I can figure out their math. I support them, but they sure do make it hard for me too!

I don't have actual prices, but I do know that in some places, electricity costs are very high.

There are also "designer options" for electricity, where you pay a higher price for it, because "it's from a renewable source"... not that you could actually be getting 100% of your electricity from a renewable source without having been hooked to a separate grid, unless your local company has renewable power only.

An old acquaintance of mine got duped into this... he's looking into litigation, now.
