***If they are no higher risk than gasoline vehicles - then why are they bursting into flames?****

Maybe the buyers have discovered that the VOLT is a high dollar lemon, and are finding ways to set them on fire for insurance purposes.

One was in the guys garage.

Another was post - either crash test or accident. Was not in owner’s possesion.

If gasoline cars had these issues - I think we have 200 MILLION of them on the road - vs like 1,000 Volts - that would be the same as 200,000 spontaneous unintended combustion events - per year. 4,000 per week. 80 per state per week.

I have nothing against technology - but lieing and half truths are not technology.

If I started a car company, and put a few hundred on the road - and had this as my safety record - the governmnet would shut me down in a heartbeat. But - because it is Government Motors - they get love notes for crappy engineering - such as this.
