Good idea.
Engineer the car to drive slower once the battery pack gets low. You would encourage people to charge up more often at the same time reduce gas consumption by FORCING responsible driving habits.
I guess this means that the chances of a cel-phone wearing, redneck Volt driver cutting you off in a highway construction zone is going to be rather slim.
Ha!
