It's far more than that. That is what they want you to think, that it's only extra few bucks down the road. Meanwhile the government begins it's regulations, this current step at least, one of the many as they have already made progress. Same general principle that applied to our auto makers, of which the end result is the government managing what GM produces now etc. ie expensive electric cars that no one wants.

If you are referring to the Chevy Volt, you are way off base on your timeline and it's background. Chevy had been working on the Volt for at least two years prior to even asking for a bailout (the idea had been kicked around since 2005, but they started building parts of it in 2007). The production of the Volt did not come from any government regulation stating that GM must build an electric car as there hasn't been any regulation to that effect. As for no one wanting it, last I heard there was a waiting list of over 50,000 people, which is enough to take up the first two years of production.
