Last March, I initially wrote about, the Chevrolet Volt, the “All-Electric” battery operated car. In that article my main emphasis was regarding the cost of re-charging the batteries; that someone had to pay for the electricity used to make it go.
Recently that same vehicle has gone under the microscope of the news media, regarding the sales, or lack of, since its release. According to Chevrolet, sales are far under the projected 10,000 units, and for that reason production has been put on hold and hundreds of people laid off until such time that sales catch up and they have disposed of the current surplus inventory.
