This tax credit is for all EV’s that qualify and includes the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf.
2 + 2 = 4 ; NEWT = $2.50 a gallon GAS ; 2 + 2 = 4
If it was really a government that was doing what's best for the people becaue they don't know what's best for them, they would have outlawed the Chevy Volt.
So we needed to spend a ton of taxpayer dollars to discover this?
The facts were already there before the project was started, but collectivists are too in love with their 5 year plans to think.
Just called my congresscritter Cliff Stearns to back the bill HR 3768. Please all, do the same.
Other than the cost, the flaming batteries and the tiny range between charges, it’s a great car.
All the lies about demand, coupled with the IPO = Insider Trading.
The Volt idea came before Obama was in the WH but most of the scam subsidies and tax credit occurred after. This “Green” thing is Obama’s “Great Society” and we know what happened with that.
I’d dance on its grave, but I’m afraid a hand is going to reach up out of the ground and grab my wallet.
I don't know why people think GM oversold this thing...
Lies were told about the existence of long waiting lists of customers that were lined up to buy the car, if only GM could keep up with the strong demand. These claims came not only from GM, but also from politicians like Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) who claimed there were waiting lists in CA and Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) who said Volts were “selling like hot cakes.”
What a pile of crap! These f’ing con artists should be in jail!
Thanks. I got an answer from my Rep a few days ago and she’s backing Mike Kelly’s bill.
Nonsense, green energy is works and it's real, just ask the Green Lantern!
May all who worship evil’s might, beware my power, green lanter’s light.
Exactly, every last one should be cooling their heels in a fed slammer.
Der people’s car, der voltwagen, is a failure of common sense and efficiency. How do you get electrickery to power these pedalmobiles from electrickery manufacturers that are being shut down all over the damn country in the first place, and then after 25 miles, the fuel you must use is twice as polluting, 100% more expensive, and if you don’t carry bottled water in your voltwagen, you might just as easiy burn your hiney up or start a forest fire or something if you catch on fire? Oh yeah. I want one of those alright.
hehe :DD
Given a choice between all the so called “green” cars, I like the Volt best and believe it would fit my needs nicely.
However, I will never be able to afford a $47,000 car of any kind. If the Volt was $20,000 or less, I would consider it.
So, where did GM get the idea that anyone could afford this thing at that price when that competition is offering vehicles at substantially lower prices?
