Chevy Volt Not Green Enough For California

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-rebate-for-you dept.

thecarchik writes "The first two plug-in cars from major manufacturers will go head-to-head on warranties and lease prices: $350 a month for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt, $349 for the 2011 Nissan Leaf. Now the choice shifts to other measures, including electric and overall range, as well as the plug-in perks that states like California offer to early adopters to encourage them to opt for electric cars. This is where it gets interesting. While California loves the Nissan Leaf, current regulations deny Chevy Volt buyers two significant perks: a $5,000 rebate, and permission to drive solo in HOV Lanes."

    The Volt is not an import, the Leaf is. We're talking about greenies from California here folks.

    Barstow and Lodi... More cosmopolitan, hip metropolises you'll never find. I'm thinking "Monorail"...
