The condo owner or renter can use the plug-in hybrid but loses the benefit of the plug-in feature. (actually the renter does get the benefit of self-rescue if they run out of gas!) As a renter, if I could afford a plug-in hybrid I would due to the breakdown self-rescue feature of the enlarged battery pack. But as a renter the EV does me no good. I seriously doubt employers will set up chargers for employees and many will fire you if you try it as "theft of company property". There are a LOT of backward greedy employers! By the way, the EV has another hidden problem. If the homeowner gets foreclosed on, he has only one last charge!Unless they buy a gasoline generator to install in the trunk.

The company is losing 1 billion dollars a month and they aren't doing shit to save the company(eg. make better cars that get 40mpg that ppl will drive) Just like the banks they feel we should "bail them out" Fuck GM, let those greedy bastards starve. If my company was near bankruptcy there isn't a goddamn thing they government would do about it, what makes banks or GM any different. Don't even get me started on the Oil companies, or the CFR or how the banks and oil company's have paid off lobbyist to "speed up" the bailout, must have been a coincidence this happened right before election. I wish more "Americans" would start thinking for themselves and stop believing all the propaganda from Cnn, Fox,MSnbc, etc. If GM truly wanted to be saved they would have done so by now. They're expecting a handout and are making the company go under intentionally. I think GM’s Flex Fuel SUV’s are a pathetic joke.

I might as well go with the flow, in this case... it is a step in the very right direction. Now all we need to do is convince the American people (which includes me) that the "American Dream" is not home ownership, or car ownership, but the ability to discover the greatest life of fulfillment without persecution, and with respect for the planet. This would entail, as I see it, less consumerism and more caring... but look, the Volt is a step in the right direction. That is where I will stop. Viva Volt!
