The Chevy Volt is one thing Rush Limbaugh has interested himself in by making comments about as General Motors’ new electric car. $ 41,000 is “a steep price to pay for showing you care about the environment,” Limbaugh believes as outlined by the Politico. Limbaugh thinks the $ 7,500 tax credit the government is giving to everyone who wants a new environment friendly car, but executives think the Chevy is a “game-changing product”. Limbaugh’s argument is that a game-changing product shouldn’t need a tax incentive to sell.
Car industry must be doing better with the release of the Chevy Volt
Robert Gibbs, White House press secretary, thinks the auto industry is coming back with the Chevy Volt’s battery and gas powered car. Considering that both the vehicle and its innovative lithium-ion battery are going to be made in America, the Obama administration could reasonably consider the Chevy Volt a feather in its cap. Definitely not everyone is happy about this new development.
Limbaugh likes to talk about the battery
Despite the Volt battery’s outstanding warranty program, Rush Limbaugh has chosen to focus on why the battery only allows the vehicle to travel 40 miles (the gas tank that kicks in afterward grants one more 340 miles) and why it takes “three to four hours” to recharge. The battery and also the vehicle’s cost prompted Limbaugh to go as far as to cancel scheduled General Motors ads that would have run on his radio program. GM received quite a bit of money when it came to bailout time so Limbaugh nicknamed the company “Obama Motors”.
It’s called ‘expensive methods to promote the environmentalist agenda’
Limbaugh feels like the $ 41,000 Chevrolet Volt and the $ 30,000 Toyota Prius have to be cheaper. Others might argue that the reduction of emissions is worth it within the long run, and the technology will gradually become less expensive. All technology has this problem, and as a consequence, so does all those who purchase it. You pay more if you want it before everyone else. There could soon be a reward with green technology like the Chevy Volt, although many individuals could have to wait for it.
