ALERT! there is an email circulating the blogosphere>>> I have no idea who or where it came from. I DID test drive the Volt and document that experience on air but I made NO analysis of the cars cost to operate. the fraudulent email is below:
Cost to operate a Chevy Volt
Eric Bolling (Fox Business Channel's Follow the Money) test drove the Chevy Volt at the invitation of General Motors.
For four days in a row, the fully charged battery lasted only 25 miles before the Volt switched to the reserve gasoline engine. Eric calculated the car got 30 mpg including the 25 miles it ran on the battery. So, the range including the 9 gallon gas tank and the 16 kwh battery is approximately 270 miles. It will take you 4 1/2 hours to drive 270 miles at 60 mph. Then add 10 hours to charge the battery and you have a total trip time of 14.5 hours. In a typical road trip your average speed (including charging time) would be 20 mph.
According to General Motors, the Volt battery hold 16 kwh of electricity. It takes a full 10 hours to charge a drained battery.
The cost for the electricity to charge the Volt is never mentioned so I looked up what I pay for electricity.
I pay approximately (it varies with amount used and the seasons) $1.16 per kwh.
16 kwh x $1.16 per kwh = $18.56 to charge the battery.
$18.56 per charge divided by 25 miles = $0.74 per mile to operate the Volt using the battery.
Compare this to a similar size car with a gasoline engine only that gets 32 mpg.
$3.19 per gallon divided by 32 mpg = $0.10 per mile.
The gasoline powered car cost about $15,000 while the Volt costs $46,000.
So the government wants us to pay 3 times as much for a car that costs more than 7 times as much to run and takes 3 times as long to drive across country.

His cost per KWh is way out of whack. More likely 15 cents (+/-) per KWh not $1+. Makes a huge difference in his result (obviously). Must live on an island.

we pay just under 7 cents per kwh,so charging wud cost $1.20. but the issue EB raised on the show was how short a distance he travelled only on the battery. that is the reason the volt is not ready for primetime, unless u drive under 25 miles a day total so u can recharge the battery again for 8 hrs & not burn gas. so for most people there is no advantage to the volt unless u like to think ur being green, and cost is not an object for what u actually get.

We pay 8.9¢ per kwh.....if that guy is paying $1.16 per kwh, he better go off grid and revert back to nature!

The cost per KWH would be different in different areas. Mine is .079 per KWH. Is that the same as an hour or is it different? So 10 hours would cost .79 at .03 per mile + the miles it ran on gas. But the other two are correct, 3 times as much and will take you 3 times as long to get there....drivin

Well Eric if I remember right GM called you, the battery you said was not ready for prime time. You gave the cost of the car and the average income of people who have bought them, and what the cost to taxpayer and now the tax credit for buyers . Eric you reported your experience which for those us who follow you are greatful for your truthful reporting, that why you are my favorite Fox host. Love the 5, people of truth are always talked about in an unfavorable manner , that make you know you are on the right track.Just let it roll off you like water off a ducks back, I watch 24 ducks dailY,I love and trust my ducks and my two shepards more than most people.There my gooooood babies. Blessing s to you and yours. See you on the 5.

Think of a kwh as the flow rate (kind of like measuring water flow). 1 kW of power expended for one hour. Ten 100-watt bulbs turned on for 1-hour would equal 1 kwh.
My current rate is 18.4 cents per kwh. Thanks to the environmentalis

The gas operated car was also a dud, when it first came out. Give card like the Volt, time. Technology will be eventually perfected. Be open to change and technological advancements. Think back to computer programming in the 80's and today.

@charlotte Why whould you stop at 300 miles in a day. Just fill the gas tank up and keep going. That's the beauty of a Volt 25-50 miles per charge and 300+ per tank of gas. If you need to go on a long trip, just go and burn gas. If you commute 25-50 miles most days, you could go months without buying gas.

The worst of Eric's blunders is that he is just plain wrong about the cost of electricity.

16 kwh x $1.16 per kwh = $18.56 to charge the battery.
$18.56 per charge divided by 25 miles = $0.74 per mile to operate the Volt using the battery.

The true cost of electricity in Seattle averages about 10.6 CENTS per KWH. Even in New York City they are about 22 CENTS/kWh. So, his electricity cost of $1.16/kWh is complete crap (either that or Canadians are really getting screwed for electricity!) This makes his energy calculations over 5-to-10 times too high depending on where you are in the country.. Hawaii tops the U.S. at $0.37/kWh. At a very minimum he is over 3x too high.
Query "what is the average price of electricity in <<My_City>>" to find out.
By Eric's reckoning, if he ran a single 60W light bulb in his house for a single month it would cost:
.06 kW light bulb * 24 h/day * 30 days * $1.16/kWH = $50.11
So, for most of America; heartland:
Eric's calculation for a full charge:
16 kwh x $1.16 per kwh = $18.56
$18.56 / 25 miles = $0.74 / mile
My Calculation for electric driving:
16 kwh x $0.106 per kwh = $1.70
$1.70 / 35 miles = $0.05 / mile
His data is just plain crap.

What did the republicans do when they were in charge: nothing. Republicans just voted in secret to restore earmarks. I hope the democrats do away with the filibuster and pass every spending bill the want. When America is bankrupt maybe the republicans will learn their lesson.

Is this country ever going to get around to actually rebuilding the infrastructure of bridges and highways or are we just going to play with the Democratic spending until we have some more bridges collapse like the one in Minnesota that Obama jumped right up and said he was going to rebuild all the old and dangerous things (that never happened)...

Really? What was Trump's crisis to incur $3 Trillion in debt In the first 2 years of his Administration (before the Pandemic)? Trump's economic plan was to continue lying to the American People! LOL! With the pandemic & under Trump, we are well on our way to a national debt 200% of GDP! Before the pandemic, we had a paltry 2.1% GDP growth rate & Trump claimed it was the best economic growth in history? Only in Trump's mind! LOL! What was Obama's GDP growth rate? LOL! After all the hype & outright lies, Trump's flawed economic policies are finally coming home to roost! LOL! We have the largest trade deficit in history, an inverted yield curve, current $trillion annual deficit & continue to add another $3 trillion in debt in less than 2 years (before the $trillions for the coronavirus bailout)! Obama's FY 2015 deficit was $438 billion & FY 2016 deficit was $575 billion! LOL! Despite what the dishonest Conservative Media says Obama's economic performance beats Trump across the board but you can't believe the below left-wing "rag" - USGOVERNMENTSPE
