What? No gas?
I’m sure battery humpers don’t mind at all
According to an article I read GM never intended to manufacture the Volt. The government made it a requirement as part of the bailout. Chevy knew there was a potential fire problem and that other parts of the design were not ready for mass introduction. But you want the money? They closed down a successful vehicle line to manufacture the Volt.
I can’t tell you how many times, including on the Volt, that some liberal said if only companies would make X, people would buy it. The first time was a government woman speaking for the then presidential administration who said that people didn’t buy small, fuel-efficient cars because no one made them. The commentator showing the video rattled off a list of small, fuel-efficient cars that had been available at the time but had been cancelled due to low sales. People want speed, power and above all sex appeal. People will almost always choose the car they think makes them look attractive.
Electric cars aren’t inherently bad but Buggy Operating Systems and Heavy Shitty LiOn batteries.
Buggy Operating systems are not limited to EV’s though. All cars have software bugs now, but some are worse than others.
Every single thing is connected to some kind of relay which is directly processed by an array computers. EV’s just take it to another level.
ITS OUT OF GAS!!!
Everyone should follow Eric Peters
He combines conservatism, anti-central-planning, and anti-bloated-government into discussions about automobiles.
And there is A LOT to talk about. US Government mandates and political meddling have destroyed the “free market” for automobiles. Americans are paying a lot more, for worse automobiles, fewer options, and less freedom

Do the brakes still work?
Batteries are Weird.

Wal-Mart Premium Sparks that Truck Now !
Look on the bright side. It keeps them from catching fire.
Chevrolet...like a rock.
A module failed ...imagine that? When you intentionally make a mechanical device no longer mechanical and rely strictly on electronics as opposed to vacuum of heat induced you end up with the vehicles we have NEW nowadays....something that bricks and their is nothing you can do to edge it home or off the way to get service. When they started to put computers in cars I was against it . As time goes by points/condensor’s and generators (as opposed to alternators)look pretty good.
Chevy messed up here. Instead of marketing the Volt as a car that occasionally loses power, they should market it as a camper that occasionally gains power.
See, Chevy? Sometimes you gotta think outside the box.
Meanwhile the Democrats in the USA (and globalists in other countries) are pushing pushing it in ways that hurt everybody but the elite, instead of just letting it develop.
At the same time they are deliberately sabotaging our electric infrastructure.
73,000 volts: isn’t that almost a jigawatt?
PRICE IS RIGHT keeps giving them away.
I CRINGE every time I see one.
Well here is a 66 Impala that still runs great:
