You shouldn't be downvoted for this. It's a legit comment. I feel like there's a pretty major hidden cost in hybrids in that you now have to maintain the gasoline engine (and potentially entire drivetrain) as well as the electric one. You kind of get the worst of both worlds there -- plus you have a weight penalty of course. I have very little use for >200 mile/day drives, so getting an electric that can handle my 99% driving case sounds better to me than getting a Volt which I'll still need to semi-regularly fill up and maintain.
