Wish someone would give me a free volt and then help pay for charging and gas.

so their employees who have "company cars" are going to be given volts to drive?

Actually, assuming work is under 25 minutes to get to, providing a volt instead of a normal company car is very useful from a company standpoint. In essence the lack of range makes it so the employee doesnt abuse the privilege and use the car for other things.

if this is for them replacing all their company cars with volts I dont see a problem with it either... as long as they dont try and BS the numbers into telling their stockholders they actually sold those units to customers rather than kept them inhouse.

OH MY GOD

NOT A COMPANY CAR

THE HORROR

This is a true outrage. I mean, unlike millions of other Americans who get the luxury of picking what cars they'll drive to work and having the privilege of paying out of pocket for them and their own fuel, GE employees are forced...nay, HELD AT GUNPOINT in these cars.

I think the NAACP and the ACLU should be involved, somehow. This is neoconservativenazizionistidisestablismentararianism at its finest.

Remember the taxpayers, that would be us are subsidizing these cars to the tune of $10k, it is just another tax break for GE and GM.

lol it's always funny that the difference between "taxpayers footing the bill" and "letting them keep more of THEIR money" all depends on who we're talking about

while I think the volt is a failed impractical attempt at a green car, boohoo @ people complaining about their free car.

And another thing, what are the chances that the employees will get 1099'd at the end of the year ? Odds are good that they will and that will erase any tax refund they get, might end up owing a little.
