60,000 ??? 40,000 ??? They BARELY sold 10,000 in 2011 - AND MOST OF THAT WAS GUB'MENT SALES !!!
If they sold 5,000 to private owners in 2011, they are looking for a 1200% increase ]@60,000] or an 850% increase [@ 45,000] for 2012 ???
What kind of good drugz are they doin' ??? The 1960's must have been very, very good to them ...
PETA must’ve convinced them it was cruel to use real Guinea pigs in this “safety experiment”.
Must own stock in the coal industry...
At what point will The One decree that everyone must buy the Volt? No other vehicle will be allowed on the roadways.
I would take one if my company gave me one free.
I guess hope and change means hoping through hoops.
I guess hope and change means hop(p)ing through hoops.
Isn't that interesting! I wonder why? Could it be because a field engineer needs to get where he's going when he needs to get where he is going?
It is called crony Communism.

Who was it who asked if one could install a gun rack into a Chevy Volt?
(Answer: You can’t. The Volt is too small.)
And who was it who asked why anyone would buy a car with the equivalent of one gallon of gasoline stored in it? On one charge, the Volt will carry you about the same distance as one gallon of gasoline, he said.
Sounds like Obama’s enforcers are putting the strong arm on his cronies to prop up his failed projects to juice the numbers before election day.
I have trouble with people that need their company to buy them a car - I’m grown up to buy my own car.
As far as the cost of driving goes, for the few GE people that might really put on a lot of miles for the company, they can buy a small, cheap, import and not have to put up with that crap. The rest of the people should suck it up and drive their own cars when needed.
Does GE buy you a new garage when one of those suckers lights up when you’re recharging it overnight?
>>GE claims to have crunched the numbers and believes that in the long term, this will save the multi-national company big bucks.
B.S.
Show us the numbers. They aren’t that complicated.
This is a political payback to Obama for bailing out GE Capital.
Yesterday evening I was sitting on my patio (while quaffing some Coronas) watching a neighbor about 2 houses down mowing her lawn with an electric lawnmower.
It was was absolutely painful to watch. The grass was a little high and the piece of junk didn’t have the power to cut it. It went on for about an hour before she finally finished her small back yard. Half of the time she was busy moving the electric cord and the rest of the time she was going over already cut grass to try to mow the pieces that stuck up after her “green” lawnmower failed to cut.
If she had a battery operated mower it would have crapped out at the first dog poop she ran over in the yard.
All of this electric Eco-friendly garbage is pure speculation. It only works if you have a backpack that carries a 5KW generator for backup.
Stupid, stupid headline. ALL companies “force” employees into whatever the company car is. The police department “forced” me into a Chevy Caprice (the bastards).
They didn’t force any employee to buy a Volt, they are just buying them for the fleet.
Bad decision? Maybe, maybe not. Personally, I wouldn’t buy one.
But the blogger headline was stupid, as it typical for bloggers.
Electric cars are a scam when it’s sold as “good for the enviornment” when close to 70% of electricity in the US is created through burning coal.
Liberals are so stupid they can’t even understand they hate their own ideas. To fully use the idea of electric cars we would need a bigger grid (screw the snail darters) and most of our power coming from nuclear reactors which they hate because of their indoctrination over the last 35 years (and a badly written and acted movie).
Geez, when are people going to just start shunning liberals? Quit hiring them. Quit serving them in your store or your restaurant or gas station or hotel. Make sure your kids bully theirs! lol
