“And since each Volt appears to cost American taxpayers roughly $250,000 apiece in various subsidies to GM, a buyer is truly getting a heck of a deal for that $40,000.”

Hmmmm……..i wonder jut how much we could get out of one if we scrapped it for parts. (Is there anything in the care worth $250k or was the money all wasted on the UAW?)

“Contrary to what its name suggests, the Volt is far from an all-electric vehicle. It is powered by a 149 horsepower electric motor that relies on a lithium-ion battery pack until the battery charge nears depletion. A four-cylinder internal combustion engine then kicks in and replaces the battery pack in generating power for the electric motor. A fully charged Volt can travel about 35 miles before it begins using gasoline at a rate of about 40 miles per gallon, according to the EPA.
The battery can be recharged in about four or eight hours, depending on whether it is plugged into a 120-volt or 240-volt charging outlet.”
All electric my ass; it clearly states when the batteries run down an ICE takes over. And with a range of only 35 miles, hell almost anyone can bike 35 miles in a day, even a skinny queer 1/2 black man in mom jeans. And lastly, if you’re charging this piece of shit on a 240VAC circuit, you can “expect your utility costs to necessarily skyrocket”.
@Sentinel: That 35 miles(under electrical power) is in ideal weather conditions, on a typical winter day in Minnesota, that’d be reduced to about 15 miles.
……and immediately burst into flames.

Saw one on a GM lot the other day and it was way far away from the other vehicles.

They`re the only ones that can afford one.
How many carbon credits to cover the mobile fireplace (Cheby Voltron)?

Just like everything the fool Obama touches…………it turn to shit…
2013′s will come with a pull behind trailer, a generator and extension cord……
Will it come with free fire extinguishers?
There’re real pretty till you test drive one and catch on fire.
Is flame retardant clothing part of the package?
UGH, ugly car!!!
