Volt sales tripple in 2012

[Soggy in NOLA]

Wow.. maybe we could use the unsold Volts as incendiary devices to be dropped on the Taliban?

Why waste them on the Taliban?




Give one to every congressperson.

Hah.. as if. They can't even get onboard for Obamacare....

 

[depotoo]

And I would be willing to bet most all those sales were from government entities...

Chevy Volt sales triple - Jan. 3, 2013

It will be interesting to hear the RW Loons trash this...

The only thing that gets trashed is you Leftyttons acting like selling a few volts is some green revolution. Quit that and you won't have a problem.

Excuse the commercial interruption from your conversation.

Since we all are Americans that support things like energy conservation and domestic jobs, you'll enjoy this recent report from the DOE:

Don't hold back on your support and thoughtful comments.

P.S. I bought my Volt three years ago, replacing a BMW 540i Sport. Hands down, it is THE best car that I've ever owned.

You mean they sold 6 of them last year?

Impressive!

So you cannot verify you earlier assertion with facts. That is called A LIE! You got nothing and you can't prove anything, because you just made a statement based on your feeling. You have not facts. All yuo can do is NEG REP someone who calls you a liar. It seems you will be called that lot more in the future if you continue to make false and misleading statements.

I neg rep douchebags who call me a liar and then can't back it up. Hello douchebag

Everything that I have placed here has fact and/or a link behind it. You said the numbers were a lie, but you cannot prove your point. I am no shocked.

Electric cars will depend on a subsidy for many years. If not, no one would buy them. You can expect the government to off tax write offs for some time.

Well then fucktard stop bragging about how many are sold, It don't fucking count until the bastards compete on a level playing field. Let the gov. subsidize Prius and see what the fuck happens.. You up for that?

And I'm very glad you like it. They ARE very good cars. But don't you think you should just pay the whole cost yourself and not rely on subsidies from the poor and middle class?

The Prius was subsidized with US federal tax credits, as follows: $3,150 (purchased on/before 30 September 2006) / $1575 (purchased 10/01/06-03/31/07) / $787.50 (purchased 04/01/07-09/30/07)

I did pay the full amount. My wife and I did not qualify for either tax credit, federal or state.

 

[LoneLaugher]

I'd buy one tomorrow if someone would figure out how to temporarily shrink merchandise and sales materials. If they make a Volt Van.....I will be first in line.

How much did those sales cost the taxpayers in bullshit subsidies and tax credits?

 

[depotoo]

So how many were bought by government, whether federal, state or local? And how many of those buys were in Democratic strongholds?

 

[WillowTree]

and why are you fucking Americans buying a product manufactured in China?

So how many were bought by government, whether federal, state or local? And how many of those buys were in Democratic strongholds?

"About 54 percent of the 1,801 alt-fuel vehicles purchased by U.S. government agencies last year were built by Hyundai, Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Honda, according to data obtained under a Freedom of Information request from the U.S. General Services Administration, which coordinates most vehicle purchases."

"The GSA purchases in fiscal 2012 included 904 Sonata hybrids, followed by 372 Fusion hybrids, with General Motors Co.’s Chevrolet Volt plug-in electric model accounting for 163 purchases."

That averages out to 13 per month, or 0.7% of all Volt sales in 2012.

As to "Democratic strongholds" these two surveys show a fairl even split between Democrats, Republicans, and independents:

Poll: Volt buyer political leanings

Are most Volt owners Democrats

Like ALL cars made today, various components are sourced from around the world, including many here in the USA:

If I knew what the word tripple meant, maybe I could respond.

Um, source?

(Hint: Volts ARE made in Detroit. Check your facts. Indeed GM would love to make and sell Volts in China, no question, but the Chinese have erected too many barriers.)
