A Chevy volt costs $250,000 to make

http://hotair.com/archives/2011/12/21/govt-subsidies-for-chevy-volt-up-to-250000-per-car/


Why force electric when Hybrids can be made cheaper by far?




lol Einstein the math used to come up with that figure of $250,000 is a joke it assumes only 6000 will ever be built with the money used to tool up the factories capabilities to build electric cars.

Re: the NE has no electricity

Hey sticks how many have sold in the past few years?  If factory capacity determines sales then the Soviet GAZ should have kicked Toyota's ass

Re: the NE has no electricity

and 6139 didn't ignite and burn out, so, that's a helluva bargain

Re: the NE has no electricity

the funny thing about production is that the more and faster it is made, the cheaper it gets. simpy there is not enough demand for the volt to drop the price

It's a lemon.  THE GAS MOTOR DOES NOT RECHARGE THE BATTERY.

Re: the NE has no electricity

There are limits to the benefits of economies of scale, twosidedeath. It will never be as inexpensive as it's being sold for.

The technology just isn't there yet.

I'm all for solar, as East advocated, but the technology isn't there yet either. When your panel requires more energy to create it than it will produce over the course of its lifetime, you need more development, not panels.
