The Volt is expected to cost $40,000, or $32,500 after the federal tax credit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border-top-width: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; \">Leaf customers will also be expected to pay around $2,200 for a home charging unit, but another tax credit will likely remove nearly all of that cost.The Leaf&#8217;s 100-mile electric range easily bests the Chevrolet&#8217;s, but Volt drivers can drive hundreds of miles more if they are too far from a plug.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border-top-width: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; \">However, note that neither car will have wide availability any time soon.
