Everyone should be contacting their representatives in congress to support Rep. Mike Kelly’s bill to kill the $7,500 tax credit.

This tax credit is for all EV’s that qualify and includes the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf.

Moving on to Volgas or Trabants?

I’d buy a Chevy Volt if I could be assured they’d ship Obama’s ass back to his Kenyan homeland permanently.

Now we're hearing reports of dealers who don't want to buy the cars from GM because customers just aren't materializing for the Volt.

Expect to hear that these dealers are being audited by the IRS and that OSHA is shutting down their service areas for "violations". The Regime will not stand for this.

Government Motor’s shows again how Obama fails at everything he touches. Now the Dealerships will be in revolt, over the Obama Volt.

[SENTINEL]

Electric cars are a tyrants dream !

At the first sign of revolt, SWITCH, and nobody goes anywhere.

I always said what would kill the Volt was the economics not the technology. You just couldn't make back the purchase cost with fuel savings. You were always better off buying a gas burner and using the saved money to buy gas. The only appeal of the Volt was snob appeal for the green crowd, and it was neither overtly green, like the Smart Car, or luxurious like the Tesla. It was just another sedan, but one with a 41K price tag.

GM would have been better off coming up with a 40mpg gas burner that could be sold a competitive costs than with a 100mpg hybrid that is priced over what the market will pay.

What dealership would want a lot full of cars they can’t sell? The Dolt is a waste of our money.It will be hard seeing one and not have the urge to run it off the road since I did pay for it.

[MichaelCorleone]

If GM is so sure there will be demand for the Volt, why don’t they give the car to the dealers on consignment?

Oh, I see...that would require the free market decide the fate of the electric car - can’t have that now can we?!

[Cyber Liberty]

It’s never going to occur to these Einsteins that the problem is the Volts just cost too damned much money for the car you get. You could subsidize the price to almost $0 and you still won’t get many takers.

I have been using li-poly cells for 10 yrs or so, they are stored in a vented steel box because they can spontaneously cumbust for no apparent reason, but they are particularly dangerous when charging or when damaged, cell damage is not always external or visible.
A li- poly fire gives off a very caustic smoke that will destroy every metal, electrical and electronic circuit inside of the garage.
People should be aware of the inherent dangers involved.

[Kirkwood]

I didn’t know until recently that the volt comes with no spare tire. None. Nada. Zip. Not even a tiny plastic donut tire. It comes with a can of fixaflat. Who would ever buy a car that will assure being stranded when a tire blows out?
