The Volt amounts to $41,000, making it sound very expensive but  a $7,500 federal tax credit will be applied. That will lead to the price in line with a fully loaded Toyota Prius.

The Volt is slated to go on sale in December. It is one vehicle that is considered as one of the most anticipated cars ever. This is GM’s baby since this model is their first attempt with an electric car, what’s nice about latest car features is that it has an auxiliary gasoline engine to recharge the batteries after they run out of gas.

With a pure electric, like the Nissan Leaf, the Volt has no range limitations.

The price of a fully loaded Volt will pe priced for $44,600 while Nissan has priced the Leaf at $32,780, making the Volt significantly more expensive but also more competent.

GM has began taking orders Tuesday at its website, www.getmyvolt.com.

California will be the first state to get the Volt.

"This is one of the most important days we’ve seen in a long time for General Motors," said Joel Ewanick, vice president of U.S. marketing for General Motors.
