It's a piece of taxpayer subsidized trash offered by ObamaMotors. It's overpriced, and over-rated. The good thing is, that they have a tendence to possibly burn up, so my guess is, that they won't be around much longer. "Hope & Change" indeed.
@bobbytiger Absolutely agree. The only people who buy this POC are sanctimonious Hollyweird Liberals and similar types who think they're morally superior by driving around this joke (for 40 miles, no less) before they have to recharge it (or use the gas engine like the rest of us). Of course, they don't want to think about the fact that every time they plug it into the wall socket, a little extra coal is being burned.
Total Chevy Volt RECALL! Too classic. Obama's coal powered car is a reflection of how inept of a president and man he is. May they both go down in history as failures of what they promised!
@alwayssmile4u66 I hate to correct you but...well actually I love to correct you but you are wrong about it being a recall...so you certainly shouldn't have capitalized the erroneous word. The media is using the word recall incorrectly as well. I understand that your agenda is more important than reality but you ought to learn the details or at least not ignore them.
@2003SCT Kind of like bo's tax cuts? I wonder if Ray LaHood (sec of trans) will make a public address like he did regarding Toyota saying "don't drive". I would never own one but I love the Volt...it has boosted my coal stock over the last year!
@PanzerBuyer Uhh it got screwed by it being a subsidized piece of shit for the low price of $40,000 when the average driver in the U.S. goes about 12,500 miles per year. A person will never make up the cost difference in 2 decades with it. Not to mention if cars went electric tomorrow the govt. will just start charging road taxes based off of odometer readings annually. The technology is not there yet and this thing is an embarrassment.
The Volt will save the Earth and stop the oceans from rising. The Volt will bring Peace on Earth and joy to all mankind. The Volt will ressurrect the World economy and save or create millions of jobs.
@ladylordess Yea well, GM aka Communist Obama Motors doesn't care about how much money they waste, it's not theirs remember? It's ours. No REAL American would buy any GM product post-bailout.
@8thRRFS At the low price for $40,000 for the average American who drives a whopping 12,500 miles per year on an amazing battery technology found in your laptop, paid for by your neighbor so the Democrats can launder money through the United Auto Workers. Bang up job!
Regardless, one thing is FACT. Earth does NOT have an unlimited oil supply. Maybe that doesn't mean jack shit to you, because you will be dead when it runs out. But some day Earth will cease to produce oil, and future generations will owe they're livelihood to our generations engineers and ecologists.
Yes, it the Chevy Volt is not even close to an answer for the regular, but it's a big step in the RIGHT DIRECTION.
@chimygreg The earth has oil for a VERY long time. Slapping laptop batteries in a Chevy Cruze, charging $40,000 dollars while you get handouts from tax payers is not a move in the right direction. So lets sell a car that is $40,000 to Americans that drive on average of 12,500 miles a year. Hmm, the average American makes what 50k a year? You won't even begin to get your money back after 2 decades of driving.
@chimygreg If you are going to sell a product there needs to be a demand and it needs to be competitive and make sense. GM needs to get back to the drawing board and try again. You people might want to try and pull your heads out of your asses. This is a money laundering operation to the Unions to the Democrats for campaign contributions. Business as usual.
@falcon611 Yeah everybody loves $40,000 cars paid for by your neighbor so it can be laundered through the United Auto Workers right to the Democrats as campaign "contributions".
PLZ reply me your opinion about what i have to say , I will buy a $10 thousand Cadillac Eldorado Then i put $30 thousand gas in it ! isn't that sounds like a better plan ?
Like any other electronic product. I will just wait til newer models come out. I'm still mad about my first purchase and an iphone and then a newer model came out a year later. Now imagine that with this first generation of electric cars???
Pollutes more than any gas car. Take coal to make electricty to power the car which means it is creating 4 times more pollution than a gas car. Also the batteries and or what they are made from probably came from China which means a highly pollutive ride in a large boat that is burning thousands of gallons of diesel fuel just to get here. What ever happened to hydrogen technology? Chevrolet needs their heads examined. 4 dollar gas i going to be cheaper than electricity in a few years.
If you drive 50 miles per day 5 days a week it's a $20 monthly electric bill. With gas, it's $160 month at 30mpg. This car is saving u $140 a month in gas. So if the payment is $350 to lease or buy, your really only paying $210 a month total for a car if u don't buy gas. Plus u save the environment. Plus u get $7,500 tax credit so car is $32,000. It's worth it, buy it.
@TurboFuss1 A Prius is another piece of shit gimmick. The average driver in the U.S. drives 12,500 miles per year. The Prius only gives good fuel mileage in the city, the highway MPG is not amazing. The only people who would benefit are people who are in traffic A LOT or people who drive A LOT like taxi companies. Anybody else is pissing money down the drain. There are better cars that cost less and get very good gas mileage and don't look as shitty.
@BristolFD2012 You fail at math. Even at $4 for gas the average driver only goes 12,500 miles per year in the U.S. It is not even cost effective if you drove it for 2 decades. That is ridiculous for a $40,000 car. Even if cars went all electric tomorrow the govt. would ad in a road tax based off odometers annually. So the govt. is going to get its 30% off of gas or 30% off of a road tax while the average person in America makes something around 50k a year? I don't think so.
@25darsh CRZ is a piece of shit as other hybrids are. It was laughed at in Motor Trend and normal gasoline powered cars not only had more power but barely just under the CRZ's MPG rating for 3000-4000 less dollars. Do the math for the average miles driven for a driver and gas at $4 a gallon and see how stupid hybrids really are.
@aylera lets talk cars, tell me what potential does this Chevy volt had other than it gets alot of miles before u got to refill it. 149 horsepower for 40k. That's a little much. The Honda crz only comes with 122 HP, but Honda also if going to offer a mugen pkg that will give it a boost to 197hp. So unless Chevy got a sports pkg up there sleeve. This car s not worth it. Maybe to that boring ass driver who obeys the speed limit lol
@aylera Its amazing how stupid people are such as yourself. The average person in the U.S. drives 12,500 miles a year. The Volt costs $40,000 a year and it is propped up by tax payer money because it is such a failure. Even at $6 a gallon for gas it would take the average driver over a decade to begin to make their money back. The future is not slapping laptop batteries in a Chevy Cruze so you can launder money to the Democrats through the United Auto Workers.
@Warpath2198 hahaha lmfao! what the hell are you talking about? come warpath over here in portland oregon and throw insults like that at me to my face. i never mentioned anything about price. im simply fucking talking about the look of the car. how did you not get that part?? however, if i were going to buy a $40,000
(not "yearly" btw. the car cost a one time 40k) car, you would obviously save money if you went for at least a hybrid over a standard car. your other comments sound just as stupid.
@Warpath2198 and all new technologies are high cost at the beginning stage of mass production to consumers. i was going to throw some kind of insult at you, but i just noticed your other 5 or 6 comments, and i think they speak for me. good luck with life you bitter disgruntled ground dweller. :D
And each one of those "small features" -2:12 Is going to cost me a fortune when they break. Make it a smart car with a low cost and you've then peaked my attention.
@ASSASSYN360 LOL...don't we all though? This is a nifty car to have if you live in a big town with stop and go traffic 80% of the time, for were I am, I'm 4 miles from my nearest town and its only 40,000 people so a hybrid or electric is kind of a waste because of all the open roads, our V8's around here are almost always getting highway MPG ratings anyways, only traffic jams we have are tractors on the highways :)
At first i thought it was stupid, but I think it's quite smart. It runs on electric for about 35 miles(enough for commute to work) and then if you need gas it kicks in when the electric is done. Quite genius
@timothyln12 technically speaking though, the gas motor only runs to supply voltage to the electric motor to drive the car, the gas motor is not connected to the drivetrain in any way, it is simply a generator for voltage to run the electric motor :)
@codename7000 IMO in this year NOBODY needs this car, for now its just a luxury to have a electricity powered vehicle, gas price is still cheap enough for everybody to afford. In maybe 10 years from now we can discuss otherwise.
sure gas is hurting the environment but charging an electric car would use up more electricity and therefore is regardlessly harming the environment as well
If you're going to make a comment like this please add something of value to the argument and do a bit more research; a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and, from what I gather from your comment: you should have a team of armed guards each with separate keys that need to be turned simultaneously from different parts of your home in order for your door to open and you to be allowed to leave. think multi-point source pollution reduction and easier control of emissions.
@MyHoJu not really. the more electricity used to charge the vehicle, the more emission from power plants and nuclear plants will be released. sure it may be helping a bit, but considering its still polluting the environment, its not helping out too much. i dont get how i need armed guards to help me leave my home, that just made u sound retarded. considering you didnt really prove anything, you should take you own advice. i get into from university so i may be more correct then you are bud.
@iTouchHelp100 I actually can't believe Im entertaining the thought of perusing an online argument but: the idea is that by disconnecting the automobile from the fossil-fuel umbilical cord is a step towards using more efficient fuels to create the energy needed to run them. "more elec. used the more emiss. from pwr plants." Obviously, but these can be converted to/built to run off better fuels (geothermal). As for the armed guards comment: its a play off my "little knowledge" comment...
@iTouchHelp100 You might want to correct the "then" in that sentence also...I think you mean "than"....seeing as you pulled the "I got to Uni. so I must be smart" card...
@MyHoJu hahaha. i really dont care what people think of my grammar on the internet, so why not just be sloppy? your just mad that you cant counter my initial argument . U MAD BRO?
well, I did counter it, but Ill be more direct. (try to direct your next comment towards this statement): using electricity does NOT harm the environment. The methods to create it do (for the most part). Converting to electric will (theoretically) allow us to more easily use cleaner FUELS to make the necessary power. And, having millions of small emission sources is much more difficult to deal with than a handful of power plants.
@MyHoJu what did you think i meant by electricity harming the planet? obviously electricity doesn't harm it. no matter how clean fuels are it will still harm the planet. power plants and nuclear plants emit a lot more emission to the world than you think...
@iTouchHelp100 thank you for ending this argument. You clearly are not able to actually have a real discussion. Read how I respond, then look at your replies...Im not wasting my time with you anymore. Learn how to support your statements with a coherent argument or facts, not simply rewording your initial comment. No doubt you will reply saying you did argue and Im dumb or "retarded" as you said earlier; I'll leave that for the rest of youtube to read and judge. Good luck in life..,
La Chevrolet Volt embarque également un moteur essence. Ce dernier, un petit 1.4 litre 86 ch, peut maintenir la batterie en charge pour prolonger les 80 km d’autonomie. Ainsi, on peut parcourir 500 km d’un coup avec la Volt. (French)
Capacitive touch sense?? Meh that's the only thing I don't like, I don't think it was well though, what about glove? Or nails? Or if you, like me, and thousands others, tend to look for the controls without looking just by tactile feedback cuz you know the controls, I don't wanna end up pressing the wrong buttons, yeah not a fan of that. Anyway grate looking car
@fbodyWORLD It is foreign mostly developed by Australian Holden and German Opel and UK's Vauxhall but then again the new Camaro is a Holden too, yet that all American Buick Regal is made to look all American but it is a German designed and German & Chinese produced car which actually called Opel Insignia in Germany Vauxhall Insignia in UK and 别克君威 in china ...U want Yankee made ride ? Buy a Tennessee made Toyota Camry :-) Sorry :-(
There are literally millions no, thousands no, hundreds no, dozens of those entering the market on a monthly basis. Won’t be long and car companies will be paying people to drive these things so they can comply with the mileage standards imposed by biggov.
fuck electric cars, that shit is the biggest scam ever, 30K for this piece of shit, ok buy into the socialist scam,nobody is going to tell me what kind of vehicle i can buy
When we "break it down" too much, we invent tedious things that aren't really practical. If we can build a way where we dont have to do anything instead of adding things to it, thats more practical. The Chevy Volt says innovation. Good work.
I don't understand everyone's crave for electric vehicles. All of the vehicles leave a so called "carbon footprint" larger than any other gas burner on the road. The combination of the process in which the battery is produced, charging from a wall outlet which are "mostly" powered my fossil fuel power plants, and the fuel being burned to charge the motor makes this car look stupid. You could drive a V12 AMG Mercedes and leave less of a "carbon print." You're not saving the world, your being dumb
Why can't we use magnets to drive a potential energy similar to the electron transport chain in our body? Like if we have a hydrogen cell, then the magnets can attract the ions to create a potential across some membrane and use this potential to drive energy. Then cars will never need to refuel/recharge, and can theoretically last forever.
They only sold 125 of them last month. This is where our tax payer dollars went. Into a flop, crap car that nobody wants. chevy gm FAIL. Please just don't bail them out again old man Obama!!!
@JasonGorr whats going to happen when you pass the leaf after a hundred miles when the only use it has is a paperweight and the volt still has two hundred and seventy miles to go??? the whole point of the volt is that it can be your only car!!!
@fernandezchase I was commenting on the battery power. Why can't they offer a battery that goes 100 miles on battery power, like the Leaf, THEN use the gas engine. I like the concept of the Volt, I just don't like the low battery range.
@JasonGorr With electric cars more range is always better. I too would like to see a 100 mi range from the Volt...but there just isn't any more room underneath that car. The problem is that while the Leaf made room for a larger batter than the Volt, they also decided to pass on any sort of heating/cooling system for the battery. Thats a big deal. The Leaf battery is cooled by a fan. Volt has its own HVAC system that keeps the battery in its optimum operating temperature = longer battery life
i think ill wait for the audi etron to come out... that car is sexy, powerful, luxurious. the volt is just..ugly and slow just like the driver said my mom would drive this.
@adiosk8erxxx see thats just way too much people want to find a car that performs like it should and is affordable and that is the perfect buyer for the volt
@cdogandhearts lemons, fair enough just out of curiosity have you read the reviews on the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze compared to the new 2012 honda civic pretty interesting how Chevrolet dominated that car in every way imaginable study more than talk about cars!!!
The reason why GM isn't developing electric cars is because they don't know what other engines to build besides the gasoline internal combustion engine. Thats all they know how to do. They won't take the risk of hiring and bringing in new engineers to build the Electric Car. They are afraid to do so. It's a Financial Risk. They would have to do away with their previous engineers and bring in a Team of Electrical Engineers. GM doesn't know how to build an electric car.
@heartlessvietboy Maybe you weren't paying attention, but this is an electric car made by a team of GM electical engineers. People who own this car already are reporting 80-90 mpg.
@heartlessvietboy Maybe you weren't paying attention, but this is an electric car made by a team of GM electical engineers. People who own this car already are reporting 80-90 mpg.
GM sells this for $44G which is close to $20G more than a Prius. New low emission gas vehicles pollute less than coal. Our electrical grid cannot support large numbers of these vehicles. The range will only get you to the bus stop. Yes, the car looks nice but why do I need to buy a Volt? It's on thing to build a novel car but GM needs to make a profit on it...without the damn gov't subsidies.
@cbsctomh Our electrical grid can support it... we're not even using ours to full potential. Not everyone's going to be charging their car at the same time. Most would charge it at night when most of their other things aren't using the electricity anyway. And yeah, coal is our main provider for electricity, but their are many, many other alternative I'm sure.
@cbsctomh I gotta agree with you wholeheartedly. it's actually very hard to find a good independent assessment of the Chevy Volt. Most of the videos on Youtube are either plain stupid...or blatant propaganda from GM. I would buy the Prius anyday, before buying this piece of crap. This is basically NO IMPROVEMENT over the EV1 which came out about 10 years ago...LOL
this car is a flop, the reason people buy hybrids is to save on gas, they sacrifice style for efficiency, and they are usually middle class families. 41k price tag is ridiculous in this struggling economy, who are they trying to target.
Great car , but too expensive for the average person unfortunately .

@timothyln12 technically speaking though, the gas motor only runs to supply voltage to the electric motor to drive the car, the gas motor is not connected to the drivetrain in any way, it is simply a generator for voltage to run the electric motor :)

If you're going to make a comment like this please add something of value to the argument and do a bit more research; a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and, from what I gather from your comment: you should have a team of armed guards each with separate keys that need to be turned simultaneously from different parts of your home in order for your door to open and you to be allowed to leave. think multi-point source pollution reduction and easier control of emissions.
MyHoJu 3 months ago
@MyHoJu not really. the more electricity used to charge the vehicle, the more emission from power plants and nuclear plants will be released. sure it may be helping a bit, but considering its still polluting the environment, its not helping out too much. i dont get how i need armed guards to help me leave my home, that just made u sound retarded. considering you didnt really prove anything, you should take you own advice. i get into from university so i may be more correct then you are bud.
iTouchHelp100 3 months ago
@iTouchHelp100 I actually can't believe Im entertaining the thought of perusing an online argument but: the idea is that by disconnecting the automobile from the fossil-fuel umbilical cord is a step towards using more efficient fuels to create the energy needed to run them. "more elec. used the more emiss. from pwr plants." Obviously, but these can be converted to/built to run off better fuels (geothermal). As for the armed guards comment: its a play off my "little knowledge" comment...

@iTouchHelp100
well, I did counter it, but Ill be more direct. (try to direct your next comment towards this statement): using electricity does NOT harm the environment. The methods to create it do (for the most part). Converting to electric will (theoretically) allow us to more easily use cleaner FUELS to make the necessary power. And, having millions of small emission sources is much more difficult to deal with than a handful of power plants.
MyHoJu 3 months ago
@MyHoJu what did you think i meant by electricity harming the planet? obviously electricity doesn't harm it. no matter how clean fuels are it will still harm the planet. power plants and nuclear plants emit a lot more emission to the world than you think...

When we "break it down" too much, we invent tedious things that aren't really practical. If we can build a way where we dont have to do anything instead of adding things to it, thats more practical. The Chevy Volt says innovation. Good work.

I don't understand everyone's crave for electric vehicles. All of the vehicles leave a so called "carbon footprint" larger than any other gas burner on the road. The combination of the process in which the battery is produced, charging from a wall outlet which are "mostly" powered my fossil fuel power plants, and the fuel being burned to charge the motor makes this car look stupid. You could drive a V12 AMG Mercedes and leave less of a "carbon print." You're not saving the world, your being dumb

Why can't we use magnets to drive a potential energy similar to the electron transport chain in our body? Like if we have a hydrogen cell, then the magnets can attract the ions to create a potential across some membrane and use this potential to drive energy. Then cars will never need to refuel/recharge, and can theoretically last forever.

JasonGorr 5 months ago
@JasonGorr With electric cars more range is always better. I too would like to see a 100 mi range from the Volt...but there just isn't any more room underneath that car. The problem is that while the Leaf made room for a larger batter than the Volt, they also decided to pass on any sort of heating/cooling system for the battery. Thats a big deal. The Leaf battery is cooled by a fan. Volt has its own HVAC system that keeps the battery in its optimum operating temperature = longer battery life

The reason why GM isn't developing electric cars is because they don't know what other engines to build besides the gasoline internal combustion engine. Thats all they know how to do. They won't take the risk of hiring and bringing in new engineers to build the Electric Car. They are afraid to do so. It's a Financial Risk. They would have to do away with their previous engineers and bring in a Team of Electrical Engineers. GM doesn't know how to build an electric car.

GM sells this for $44G which is close to $20G more than a Prius. New low emission gas vehicles pollute less than coal. Our electrical grid cannot support large numbers of these vehicles. The range will only get you to the bus stop. Yes, the car looks nice but why do I need to buy a Volt? It's on thing to build a novel car but GM needs to make a profit on it...without the damn gov't subsidies.
