There is much excitment about the Chevy Volt coming to market - most of the excitement is generated by the manufacturer. There are even claims of 230 mpg! That is impressive! But it comes with a cost. The cost is estimated at $40,000. That is certainly more than what most people want to pay for a car. There must be alternatives. Here are a few alternatives for $40,000:
- Electric Vehicles of America, Inc. (EVA) (www.EVAmerica.com) can provide a 2010 Toyota Camry and an EV conversion. The conversion will be a battery operated vehicle that can be used in town. The Toyota Camry is one of America's Best Selling Sedans. http://autos.aol.com/gallery/best-selling-sedans
- EVA can provide a converted electric pick up truck and at least $20,000 cash back. Our trucks have been some of the most reliable EVs on the road. Some have been in operation since the early 1990s.
- EVA can provide a converted electric car and at least $25,000 cash back.
- EVA can sell you the parts and support for you to convert a vehicle and $30,000 cash back.
EVA has been providing EV Parts for the hobbyists, fleet managers, and industrial applications for 20 years! We are old enough to remember when GM introduced the Impact (later re-named the EV-1). We also remember that GM crushed all the EV-1s. A movie was made about GM and the EV-1; it was called "Who Killed the Electric Car?" EVA still provides technical support and parts for our customers - even our first conversions done 20 years ago.
Now GM is now promoting the Chevy Volt. The question is for how long? If GM does not make a profit the first two years, will they cut off support and spare parts? Will they commit to 20 years of support like EVA has done?
