I get 80+ miles per gallon. I can completely charge my Volt from a depleated battery in less than 4 hours. The only way I’ve ever experienced 25 miles in a charge is when I’m driving like a maniac breaking and accelerating hard. I get 40-50 miles to a charge. Following this biased reporting, there has been an email circulating with really bad math referencing Bolling’s reporting for credibility. It’s already been debunked.
If a volt is as expensive or more so than a gas fueled car I would expect it to run as fast or as far as the gas fueled car. Why are we putting 3 billion dollars of taxpayer money, coming to about $250k per car for the tax payers, towards a car that doesn't have enough demand to cover the cost of supply? I thought the government had economists who passed Macro and Micro 101. Guess not. So here's a clue. If Supply is ever > than demand. You don't put more money in to make more of the same thing.
This is almost a non-story. The things that the Left does, is intended to take tax payer money and spead it around. You thought that it was to buy cars??? NO, Lib agenda is to use our money to buy thier failed ideology into the real world, and to pay off thier supporters. The Fox guys are WRONG, it is ot a fault of the rules not being adjusted correctly, it is the fact that THERE SHOULD BE NO TAX PAYER FUNDING AT ALL OF THIS FAILURE!!!!
This is FOX (faux) News people, they are trying to kill the electric car again by making it seem there is no demand for it.....even if it's true, I suppose if you are buying used and are not asking for a lower price you're an IDIOT!!!!
Screw the littel clown cars. Get a full size Impala or similiar car and you can get 30mpg+. If we could run real gasoline and not Gas-O-hol our mileage would rise. A 5mpg drop running 10% ehtanol gas will cost you 50mpg on a 10 gallon fill up. That is an extra 1.7 gallons you have to purchase @$4.00 per gallon. The consumer looses~ we have a hybred car 35 mpg with real gas 30 without. BFD the car dealers and governmetn are ripping us off. My dura-max @ 7,000 lbs gets 18 on the highway~
I'm with Chevrolet Communications. We have not identified a single Chevrolet dealer who is participating in this practice. If any Volt customer feels they have been a victim of this gaming, please contact me. However, there is so much wrong with this story, I don't know where to start. 1) The tax law does not allow the dealers to take the tax credit if they are going to resell it. 2) Volt gets 40 -50 miles on pure electric 3) Day supply of Volt is less than 10 days. Ran out of space....
I think Volt rebates should be Direct Instant rebates. Rebates should be towards the vehicle not cash. The Volt would definitely sell better if the car is $37,500.
Another thing, as soon as a car leaves the factory, it does not belong to the oem anymore. the oem (general motors) does not have any control over what the dealer does to the car. it does not encourage going over or under the msrp (Mnufacture Suggested Retail Price). as soon as a car is built, it is considered a "sale".
this report is false. even if the dealerships "buy" them from another (whic happens all the time with cars) they do not qualify for the credit. also, 6 cars within 70 miles? ayfkm? most cars have a 60 day-ish supply, the volt has a 12 day supply. the hyundai dealer with 4 volts is one of only 2 dealerships in the country with more than 1 (one) volt on the lot. haters can say what they want, but the reality is the volt is in very high demand.
Wait you guys, he found this out on some WEBSITES. On the INTERNET. And you know, instead of like, anything legitimate happening like legal action since what these claims are illegal, there seems to be a sweaty middle aged man in a cheap suit on Fox news making big statements founded on what appears to be some Googling. Fucking Fox.
@finny6 Hey everyone I would like to direct your attention to the idiot below. "They lied about the 230 miles per gallon " The EPA rejected GM formula on getting 230 miles over 2 years ago, GM did not lie about it, the EPA just rejected their formula for getting that number. You are years out of date my man, you make it sound like this is new, gm stop marketing 230 miles after that.
The volt is a turd.
Just one of the eco-corruption examples from odumbo the commie.

They lied about the 230 miles per gallon - and they lied about having "paid back, in full" the gov't loans (by using money from other gov't loans).
They lie so much, you'd think politicians were in charge of the company...
