Consumers with an itch for a hybrid car can now spend less scratch for one. Chevy announced Tuesday that the 2014 models of its Volt plug-in hybrid vehicle will carry a sticker price of $34,995, a $5,000 cut from the current model. A federal tax credit of up to $7,500 for some buyers of green vehicles could lower the price further.
“We have made great strides in reducing costs as we gain experience with electric vehicles and their components,” said Don Johnson, sales and service vice president.
First, the Volt combines the BEST of ICE cars with Electric driven cars, with virtually no problems or defects.
Second, The Volt IS a TRUE electric, with an extended range gas generator included for longer trips, during which it is still driven by the Electric motor.
Third, over 93% of Volt owners more than like, they LOVE their Volts. Try to find that level with ANY other model car on the road.
Fourth, Volt performance, handling, fit and finish are all at the highest level of any car in it's class, so much so that I am tempted to say there isn't another car in it's class.
Fifth, the Volt actually comes close to saving more in fuel costs than the cost of the vehicle. Only full electrics can claim that otherwise.
In Short, the writer and other quotes in this article are about as far removed from the truth as you could possibly get, makes me wonder if they are intentionally lying or trying to deceive readers. How could they possibly get so many facts completely wrong?
