Can you really consider the interest earned on the money you didn't spend? I mean, if you didn't spend it on the VOLT, would you really have invested it?

Inversely, you would have to count the interest accrued on a finance of the vehicle's purchase price as part of the cost of ownership, should you go about your purchase that way. This is a qualification requirement for the calculation of cost of ownership on any vehicle, not just the VOLT.
