I read that Volt production is suspended for 5 weeks so that demand can catch up with production. Progressives rejoice. It ain't quite dead yet. |

Has nothing to do with the technology and everything to do with the sales. Snake oil doesn't sell well in The good old USA By the way, you sound a teensy bit more masculine than you did when you posted as plume. Which leads to the question. Are you male, female, or something else? |

What Will GE Force Its People To Drive Now

Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO of GE who doesn't pay taxes, will have to find another vehicle to force his people who have company cars to purchase and drive. http://gas2.org/2012/02/20/ge-forcin...o-chevy-volts/ === With all due respect Bert, that sounds like a regurgitation from a Rush Limbaugh rant. The republican party needs to put a muzzle on that dude before he alienates every swing voter in the country. I think the jury is still out on electric cars but any program at all which encourages energy independence is a good thing in my opinion. |

I don't know why so many far right wingers are against getting us off of oil. |

Has nothing to do with the technology and everything to do with the sales. It has everything to do with the COST of the technology tho. Basically the problem is battery cost vs price. These things are rich man's toys. If saving money is your objective, buy a Cruze and put the left over $20,000-30,000 toward gas. I understand the government will subsidize your electric car purchase to make that price delta look more attractive but that does not reduce the cost, it only transfers it to people who can't afford to buy one. ----------------------------------- Very true. Look at the subsidy for a Tesla. Average income of a Tesla buyer? $250k. As to technology. In 1919 an electric car got 30 miles to the charge. What does a Volt get? 30 miles. Not a lot of technology improvement in nearly a 100 years. Still down to battery technology. Plus where is the power to charge going to come from? They say no pollution. What about that coal or oil fired generating plant? |
