Wait till all these hybrids and Volts batteries need to be replaced. There will be a lot of sticker shocked car owners. Count on seeing them for sale by the 1000sPerhaps some enterprising type could create and sell a gas conversion for these cars. The irony would be delicious.

hang on, it runs 40 miles ONLY and costs 40 grand, anyone would have to be a total nut buying one just like buying and riving one of those so called smart cars which are not smart to drive at all and actually make the person look really really dumb and stupid.

I doubt that it will pull the boat or make it through a Minnesota winter......
Are you kidding me? Those folks at Government Motors got you covered!
Prototype Volt pulling a boat:
Volt with sunroof, (solar heating of the interior saves the batteries), and the optional manual snow extraction tool.

Like giving it a range that isn’t a complete joke?
Or telling us how to charge the batteries when Stroker tells us that the price of electricity is going to necessarily skyrocket?
Or what happens when the batteries crap out and have to be replaced?
Or, how I am going to load a ton of wood and sheetrock into it?
I’ll stick with my truck, thank you very much.

Brilliant - let’s make cars the average working Joe can’t afford. They are such morons.
To: SeekAndFind
I think I will be the contrarian on this one.
If the question is “If you had the money would you buy...?” the answer is Yes.
I was one of those guys (”fools”, if you will) who 30 years ago was buying CP/M computers at $3,000 with 64K of RAM. Innovators and early adopters drive technology improvements with their investment in technology early in its life. Without them, technology doesn’t advance.
If the question was “In your current circumstance, would you buy...?” the answer is No.

40 miles wouldn’t get the job done. Maybe if there were charging stations at the Wife’s work but, not for me.

$41,000? For that I could move to Costa Rica,
live like a KING, deep sea fishing, and pay
someone else to drive me around for YEARS.

reminds of the fool I met who got a prius.
When I asked her why she got it she said she wanted to save money on gas.
I asked her how much she bought for it and she said she is paying 200 a month for a few years.
Asked if her older car was bought off she replied yes it was she owed nothing.
so let me get this right, she put herself into debt over 20 grand to save a few pennies on gas.
that is the thinking behind these far left nuts today

I can buy a nice $30k car and run it about 100,000 miles on the difference and that doesn’t even consider the higher electirc bill and battery milage limitations. Do the math yourself.

Good to see you take care of your son while he is taking care of us. I thank him for his service. Hope he enjoyed his leave.
