Ending all speculation on the Chevy Volt about its cost factor and availability, General Motors said on Tuesday that the Chevy Volt will cost $41,000 or can be leased for $350 a month over three years with a $2,500 payment.

The price tag seems to have surprised many people who wondered how a car with that price can be aimed at mainstream consumers and at the said price of the Chevy Volt one can own two hybrids instead.
