I think that once Toyota starts selling a plug in Prius that the Volt will either have to improve or go under, as it is you can spend $8000 less and get a Prius pluss a plug in battery upgrade and have the same kind of 35 mile range.
What Chevy has going for it for the next two years is the "Made In America" label with it's LG battery and the rest of it being made who knows where, Nissan will never have that kind of fallowing because even after they start making the Leaf in the US it will still have a Japanese name plate, unless it gets a Ford name plate or some other US makers name stamped on it.
