"Also, the volt and the leaf are targeted at different people." If you say so. I don't think so, but whom am I? Your case is a little different, but the overall target group would seem to be the same.
"The leaf would be useless to me. I drive 100 miles round trip per day." You're destroying the environment. The Green Police will be on your door steps shortly. "I wouldn't want to take the chance on not getting home because of the range." No doubt. "The volt would work for me and for 40 of those miles, I'd be running on all electric power and I'd still be guaranteed to make it home that night." So, which is best for your fit: buy the 42K volt, another type of hybrid, or an efficient gas powered vehicle? By the way, where is the extra electricity going to come from? Take an abnormally hot July in LA, where rolling brown outs aren't abnormal, and then add tens of thousands of electric cars. Is that a recipe for disaster or is there something I'm missing? On a good note though, electric cars would make police chases more manageable. Just follow until the battery dies.
