Everyone should be contacting their representatives in congress to support Rep. Mike Kelly’s bill to kill the $7,500 tax credit.

This tax credit is for all EV’s that qualify and includes the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf.

Ping.

[patton]

Funny. There a 4 cadillac escalades and a suburban in the pic.

[steelyourfaith]

Thanx for the ping AAC !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[jazusamo]

Good catch, wonder if the candidates are getting government protection.

Please bump the Freepathon or click above and donate or become a monthly donor!

Is there a AWD option on the Chevy Volt? You know for those not so uncommon snow storms we get here in the North East for about half the year.

[NewHampshireDuo]

No need for the AWD. That Volt ain’t going far in the cold weather anyway.

[Leep]

Yeah, but it doesn’t have it’s own plug..haha

[jazusamo]

Heh, heh, heh.

From what I’ve read the Volt definitely isn’t a cold weather vehicle, the heater doesn’t seem to be too efficient. You could wear fur but then PETA would be protesting you. :)

One thing that may get lost in these stories is that some of us would entertain an electric vehicle if it proved practical and cost effective. Having Benito Obamalini pass out $7,500 per car in other people’s money doesn’t magically make the Volt practical or cost effective.

I’d say let automakers do R&D on their own dime.

[kidd]

Gee, an entire parking lot with one, free charging station.

If the electric car ever caught on, charging stations wouldn’t be free, would greatly complicate how northern state parking lots are plowed in winter, and would result in fights over parking spots.

Not to mention the strain it would place on the power grid.

[beethovenfan]

Was it on fire?

[tcrlaf]

Your Tax Dollars at work, BUYING VOTES...

[patton]

Yo notice what the Volt doesn’t have?

Dirt on it. Look at the Suburban behind it.

Which one do you think got used lately?

[jazusamo]

Exactly...Get the government out of the EV business and let the market decide.

[jazusamo]

That’s right, those charging stations are not cheap. Tax dollars are subsidizing their installation now, that couldn’t go on if millions were put in across the country.

They have three of these at the local chevy dealer... we were looking at it... a salesman approached:

“Nice Coal fired car you have here”.

“Oh no sir... its electric”.

"Where do you think that the electricity comes from”?

“Mississippi Power”.

“Yep... and Plant Watson is coal fired. When are you sending it back to Detroit”?

“What do you mean”?

gm recalled all 8000 that were built so I guess a recall is a recall”.

“Oh no sir... gm is going to send out kits to retrofit the battery”.

“What about the 1534 that are in the field”?

“gm is giving all of these owners another car to use until their car can be retrofitted or we will buy them back”.

“So if I buy one today... I can drive something else or you will refund my purchase price”?

“Yes sir”.

“I think that I will pass... thanks”.

LOL! Chevy Volt salesmen must really be ticked off, the word is out even though GM tried their best to keep it all quiet.
