GM Loses Money On Every Volt Built... and always will

"Doug Parks, vehicle line executive for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt, GM's range-extended electric vehicle, confirmed Tuesday that the company loses money on every Volt it sells. The expensive 16-kilowatt-hour battery pack, which likely costs GM somewhere between $8,000 and $12,000, is clearly too expensive to let the company build hundreds of thousands of Volts right away. Just 10,000 Volts will be built in 2011, though GM is working to increase that number...

When somethings is subsidize by definition it is not sustainable...

P.S. Nissan and Ford will PROFIT on their all electric cars.
