Exactly. GE, the company that is manufacturing the volt charging stations.
Ain’t fascism wonderful?
Now THIS is funny.
About a year or so ago, I was talking to an engineer who worked for the company that produces the powerpacks for the Volt. FWIW - the powerpack is the most expensive part of the car.
He was worried about being laid off. GM had initially contracted for 50,000 (maybe 60? I don't remember) of the powerpacks BUT they had only ordered 10,000, with no more orders in the pipeline.
Now, this article says they sold a little over 4K, and "that was their planned production" so "this is great news!". That's a pretty bold lie.
For comparison sake, 8,486 Camaros were sold in June alone.
That said, I’m not impressed with the Volt sales numbers.
Find out how many actually sold and set that as your target.
i sure haven’t seen one yet i have seen more 1961 studebaker convertibles of which there were 1001 built . mine is 968 and i am about take it for a spin and take the wife to lunch for our 49th anniversary
