will chevy volt decimate toyota yaris and others

[Black Yaris]

i am sure the environmental damage done to mine and refine the products used in those batteries will greatly out weigh the few advantages of the volt.

even the batteries for the Prius create more carbon emissions to produce than a full sized V8 SUV will emit in it's entire lifetime... and the batteries need to be replace 1-2 times in it's lifetime.
