There are a lot of us who don't drive over 100 miles per day for months at a time, I do every few months to ironically go to an electric auto club meeting, but that is about it, I've pretty much convinced my parents to buy an EV when they get the chance because they stay within 30 miles of home year round other then Christmas and for that we take my Civic because it's bigger then their car.

I have to wonder how the Volt's use and electric to gasoline ratio will change over time, if people will try to move to a life style and driving habit that lets them only use the electric mode or if they will revert back to gasoline use for one reason or another.
I'm also impressed that there are people who have over 20,000 miles on their Volt in less then a year! I could not imagine driving that much in a year, but I guess that is why some people buy new cars.
