Shouldn’t that be “Watt ever happened ...”?

It just went away, a failed product developed for an ideological moonbat wet dream rather than for the market

I believe the former CEO of GM was hired by and works for Obama as one of his Czars.

Jimmy Buffet wrote a song about it, before it was even made.
The 12 Volt Man.

“This vehicle is about more than how many we sell,” Batey said. “This vehicle is a magnet around everything we are trying to do to showcase our brand.”

That’s one hell of an expensive billboard you got there Al.

We saw our second Volt since they began selling them.

Even in an area over populated by well off enviro whackos, the Volt is basically non existent.

Once again, John Ransom lies about the Chevy Volt in order to score political points. He mentions a “Chevy Volt starting a garage fire” when in reality, this never happened. Garage fires happen all the time in this country, and there were two instances where a Volt happened to be parked in a garage when a fire started.

The first was in Barkhamsted, Connecticut in April 2011. The fire marshal concluded that the fire was started by a nearby Suzuki Samurai that the owner had converted to an electric car in a do-it-yourself conversion.

The second was in Mooresville, North Carolina in November 2011. The fire marshal there concluded, once again, that the fire started elsewhere in the garage and not in the Volt.

The only Volts that have ever caught on fire were two that had been demolished in a crash test. The test engineers mistakenly failed to drain the damaged batteries and they only caught on fire a week after the test. If you get in an accident and it takes you a week to get out of the car, you have bigger problems to worry about.

I have seen exactly one Volt on the road since it’s inception. Doesn’t seem to be catching on in these parts.
