Saves money
1.) Inital investment (they aint cheap)
2.) Equipment to keep them charged (it aint cheap) oh sold by GE by the way.
3.) Maintance (batteries do fail and they aint cheap) "Qualified mechanics required". Given GM's past history of reliability.. Ill bed a damn headlight for these gadgets cost 200 bucks.
4.) Limited range (If you want to travel more than 100 miles your going to have to use a 'normal' car).
I see it as a 'feel good' 'show you care' type of sentiment at best.
At least they found a ready made market for them otherwise it would really had been hard to sell them.
