52. It is more like $32,500....
There is a $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles having 16KWH of battery capacity or greater.

The volt qualifies.

Also I did the math and it will save you about 50% on energy vs even a Prius so that is about another $500 (@ $4.00 per gallon gas) or so per year say $3500 over 7 years.

Still it is too expensive. If they can get the sticker down to $32K then with gas savings and credit it would be comparable to a Prius.
