You wouldnt need a back up car...that is the beauty of this car!

The biggest problem, as seen here, with an electric car is that it needs to be plugged in and charged right?
YOU DONT NEED TO DO THAT! This can be your ONLY car!
The Volt will go farther then 40 miles. You will just now use an onboard engine not to power the wheels, but to act like a generator! And getting about 50 miles per gallon, with 8 gallon tank, thats a 400 mile range, plus the 40.
Tell me what car in your current garage/driveway/whatever gets 440 miles on 8 gallons of gas?
None of them.

Volt solves the problems of electrical cars of the past.

Obama has already said that if President, 7k rebate for the Volt from the Goverment.
McCain is also talking of major rebate due to American made/ American Company.
