Chevy Volt in California


Chevy Volts in California are selling like crazy. Is it because of the $7500 federal tax rebate? - no - Is it because of the state $1500 tax rebate?- no - Is it because of the $4 a gallon gasoline there? - no - It is because California allows single drivers to use them in the HOV lane - saving tons of time every day.

The Chevy Volt for CA is special - it is rigged to give off zero emissions when it is using the gas engine to charge the batteries -  don't ask me how.

They are $39,000 new - rebate brings them down to $30,000 - but the big deal is being able to use that special lane. 

They are also a plug-in hybrid that if you drive less than 50 miles a day - you never need gasoline - they are 100% electric.

And Romney said - let GM drop dead.

The irony of HOV use for the Volt is in how well-suited hybrids and EV's are for stop and go traffic!

Think of all those idling V8's.
