what's also omitted from this report is something I heard from an economist on the radio. The Volt costs $80,000 to produce, taking into consideration it's run volume and it's taxpayer subsidy, and development cost. It's sold at $40,000 plus the $7,500 tax credit subsidy (again thanks taxpayer). So taxpayers take a $40,000 hit each time one is sold. Isn't that special? :mad02 60:
So for about the same money... A volt or a Camaro?
Tell me... we're burning coal to produce energy for an electric car and that's "green"? |
I'm confused, how does the taxpayer take a hit on a Volt sale?
And yes, it's easier to keep a single source coal plant clean...........or that's the theory, as most coal plants are just emitting water vapor now.
And as for the original post? Discusting, but no more so to me than the dealers that will try to overcharge (and get it) for the ZL1.
