From the Oben office, went out to one of the closeby watering holes with my friends Uddipan and Prashant. We had a small stop for some coconut water - and found our coconut seller also selling castor seeds. Apart from the price, the only other drawback fo the car is its suspension. The rest of the water comes from recycling.

And, if you consider lifetime costs of owning an EV versus owning a traditional internal combustion car, even if the initial purchase price of the EV is much more than your combustion car and you have to replace a battery for $4,000 after 7-10 years, the EV still costs less to operate.

But it is a price that must be paid, and GM should be commended for remaining committed to the Volt. If you build a car as a "kit car" with no real factory, then yes, it will never be an economic success. Not really sure where all the money is going, but it seems like the Volt is already over-priced and under performing.
