| "Save some money."? ... fat chance. We all pay for this electric car nonsense in taxpayer funded subsidies, tax credits and the like. And if you're a FCA shareholder or employee you pay even more ... "For every 500 electric we produce, even after all subsidies, we will lose around $10,000 bucks .... and doing that on a large scale will be masochism at its extreme." - FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne The 500e most likely would have never been produced except for government blackmail by the state of California. California mandated that all the major auto companies sell a certain number of zero emissions vehicles. If they don’t they have to buy credits from companies that do make them. And that's not the end of it ... 'Why Electric Cars Are Selling in California: They're Free'"If you get off an airplane at the San Francisco or San Jose airport and drive for a few minutes, you will quickly see the phenomenon. Almost every new car seems to be either a Nissan Leaf, a Chevy Volt or a Tesla Model S.
And now you know why. Free car, free fuel.
Nothing sells like free!
