U.S. GOVERNMENT TO BUY 101 CHEVROLET VOLTS By Andrew Ganz Wednesday, May 25th, 2011 @ 11:31 a.m. leftlanenews.com ( Dave, I feel like I'm poking you with a stick! That's $4,141,000 worth of Volts!) As part of the Obama administration’s plan to increase the number of alternatively-fueled vehicles in the government’s fleet, the United States says it will purchase 101 Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrids. The Volts, which can run for around 35 miles on an electric charge before a gas engine kicks in, will be part of a larger order of vehicles placed by the General Services Administration. “The GSA made the right call in choosing the Volt to help lead its electric vehicle fleet initiative,” GM spokesman Greg Martin told the Detroit Free Press. “The Volt’s technology is leading the way for a new segment of vehicles and we’re pleased to see the GSA leading the way toward a more gas-free fleet.” A more formal announcement is expected this afternoon, which could include detailed usage plans for the Volts. Before federal and regional incentives, the Volt retails for $41,000.
