Disposable cars,

I suppose that will shrink the used car market.

Push the old one into a reservoir and report it stolen.

Used EVs need to have say 20 mile range, el cheapo battery availability - for say the maids that have to drive about 10 miles round trip.

Looks like we need a whole new line of loan products - “car battery loans.”

There are companies that hand retool small, out of production batteries for tools, laptops, etc. they charge more than a regular battery would be, but I bet someone other than Chevrolet could rebuild the battery to 80% efficiency or better for half that.

Try and sell or trade that lemon.

The owner needs to stage an “accident”.

In a case of highly charged sticker shock, a Florida Chevrolet dealer admits that it offered to replace the battery in a hybrid car for more than the vehicle is worth.

I can't understand why Chevrolet isn't leading the world in EVs. Oh wait, sorry, it's only a "hybrid." Baby steps for GM, I guess. Too funny.

And several months ago, the senile Sleepy Joe puppet visited GM's headquarters -- Chevrolet is a division of GM -- and publicly bragged that he's the one who said America must lead in EVs (as if nobody ever heard of EVs before 2021 and Sleepy Joe). Then Sleepy Joe ridiculously said that GM CEO Mary Barra was the one who "ELECTRIFIED the ENTIRE automobile industry! ... I'm SERIOUS ... you led ... and it matters." (As if Tesla never existed ... in senile Sleepy Joe's mind. LOL.)

You cannot make this stuff up! Democrat/RINO politicians are dumb as doornails!

According to the automotive site Edmunds, a 2012 Volt is estimated to go for between $7,999 and $17,590 these days.

And it's still way overpriced. I would give a lead nickel for one. For it is nothing but a heap of junk right now

[SaveFerris]

GM “green cars” - another Obama/ Green success story - like Solyndra

[Chode]

that is extremely hard to get, due to the older technology of the 12 year old vehicle,

and yet, parts for my 86 Samurai are plentiful and cheap, go figure...

[jonrick46]

Any way that Chevy Volt can’t be retrofitted with a hydrogen fuel cell and use pressurized hydrogen?

[Fresh Wind]

A battery replacement for the Chevy Bolt is said to be around $17,000 including labor (but that’s a 2018 number, so today it will be higher).

[alancarp]

"...offered to replace the battery in a hybrid car for more than the vehicle is worth."

Not quite written in a way that underscores the idiocy. The battery costs more than a NEW Volt... never mind the (substantial) depreciation on what the guy's already driving.

The good news is he doesn't live in Kalifornia ...

California Residents Told Not to Charge Electric Vehicles amid Energy Shortage August 31, 2022

California is telling residents to refrain from charging their electric vehicles through Labor Day due to energy shortages.

Bwaaaahahahaaaaa

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

So, the new way of shopping for an auto is to buy a battery with an auto built around it. when the battery dies you chuck the whole thing and buy a new battery with a new auto around it.

Meanwhile I am driving an old 1997 Dodge truck with less than 60,000 miles on it, and the AC is still working great!

[GingisK]

I wonder how many miles he got out of that battery. It had a 100K mile warranty, but they didn’t have any available.
