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.

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.

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.

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”.

I’ve seen a few volts. Every single one was owned by a government agency.

I’d feel much safer in any Corvair (New or used) than a Volt.......

The movie theater we most often attend recently installed on the first floor of the parking garage 5 or 6 parking stalls that have electric charging stations. These stalls are designated for “electric cars only”, and these stalls are located closer to the entry to the theater than the handicap stalls. Oh, and all these electric car stalls are consistently empty, while 2 floors of the 3 are always close to full.

Conclusion:
Electric cars are very rare, or
People that drive electric cars don’t go to the movies, or
The theater is too far away for an electric cars charge.
