Is the Chevy Volt bankrupt too?
Posted by Jeffrey in General News, Green Cars on June 1st, 2009
Like many had guessed on Friday, GM filed for bankruptcy today. The question for many green-minded folks is, “What does that mean for the Chevy Volt?” One of the biggest questions is how can GM invest so much in the Volt if it’s not expected to be profitable for a very long time?
Another big question is why would anyone pay $35,000-$40,000 for a plug-in hybrid when you can get a new Toyota Prius plug-in today for a better price. (Contact us, and we’ll prove it!) Plus, the Prius is a proven car: you already know its quality, comfort, and dependability.
I guess we have to just wait and see exactly what happens with the Chevy Volt. Perhaps the Volt isn’t the answer for GM or green consumers.
Electric Vehicles - Some cool things coming!

First, I want to shamelessy plug Plug In America. This is a cool site with lots of great information about electric vehicles. Plug In America is a nonprofit organization based in California that promotes “Battery Electric and Plug-in Hybrid vehicles for the public to drive today.” I stumbled upon their site and was quite impressed with some of the up-and-coming electric vehicles. We all know about the Tesla Roadster, but do you really have $100,000.00 to spend on your ride? If not, then here are a few other vehicles you may be super excited about.
