The base price of a Volt is $34,995 w/ freight. The going prices for the Volt with a few $K of options are in the low 30's before the $7,500 tax rebate. Everyone keeps calling the Volt a hybrid, when it is actually an Extended Range EV. Yup, the engine will drive the front wheels only under one circumstance where the battery is depleted and the continuous speed is above 70 MPH, but to use that to classify it as a hybrid (i.e. Prius) is a bit of a stretch.
