I don't expect early Volts to be bought to save money... they'll have enormous green and techno-geek cachet and that's what'll sell them.
And I doubt you'll be able to get one for love or money for the first 2 years. I see folks buying them, driving them for a bit, then selling them for more than they paid for it -- much like many Priuses owners did early on.
