Personally, with oil at less then $50 per barrel and the economy in the tank, I don't think many people will be willing to pay over $40,000 for a sub-compact electric car. GM already tried it from 1996 to 1999 when the economy was booming. The project was discontinued in 2003 because they could not make it profitable.

I wonder if GM management has ever entertained the thought of expanding Corvette sales to a wider demographics, especially foreign markets, by offering potential new customers an alternative choice of a higher efficiency, lower CO2 emitting, smaller and lighter V6 in a proven sports car like the Corvette -seeing that market has not been very impressed with their current I-4 turbo Opel GT and Daewoo G2X sports car offering.
