2017 Chevy Volt Purchase & Lease Promotions Pop Up
Originally published on EV Obsession.
A number of car dealers around the country have begun to receive the first 2017 Chevy Volts, paving the way for the nationwide release of the model year (the 2016 model year wasn’t widely available), according to recent reports.
In support of the launch, GM has now issued its first purchase and lease offers on the 2017 model year. And its first promotion — with the company now (as of February 24th) offering $1,000 cash back on all available version of the new model year. This offer is currently only available in the states of California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont, it should be noted.
Before going over the purchase and lease options, it’s worth making a reminder here that the 2017 model year possesses a number of new features — such as reduced emissions (compliance with Tier 3 standards), and an adaptive cruise control.
Cars Direct provides more:
GM Financial is also offering discounts for leasing. Nationally, there’s $2,300 that can be used toward capitalized cost reduction, but there’s an additional $2,250 in the regions mentioned above that can be combined for up to $4,550 in potential discounts. Shoppers coming from an existing GM lease or from a competitor may be eligible for a $500 bonus that can be used toward the purchase or lease of a 2017 Volt. Current incentives are set to begin expiring February 29 but will most likely be renewed.
…As far as leases go, GM has not yet announced advertised payments on the 2017 Volt. However, the 2016 Volt ranks well in our monthly roundup of the best green car deals. In regions where the car is offered, you can lease one from $299 for 39 months with just $500 at signing. Shoppers can turn this into a zero-down lease with either the $500 lease loyalty offer or competitive bonus. The offer features an allowance of 15,000 miles/year, considerably more than most plug-in and EV offers.
State and federal incentives are obviously available in many places, potentially changing the economics of purchase or lease notably.

? Go Solar!
Energy Freedom From Big Utility Bills, Pollution and ☢ Waste
Solar is only for those that can afford it. The little guy cant afford solar. At Walmart, a loaf of bread is about $2. At Whole Foods, its about $5. Why so much? Because its organic, specially made, has “better ingredients” etc. The little guy cant afford that. Solar is the Whole Foods loaf of bread.
This will change as solar panels and storage continue to get cheaper.
Think of the cost curve and market penetration of cell phones as an example. They went from essentially nothing to near universal in a decade: https://joaogeraldes.wordpress.com/2010/09/07/38-infographic-explores-mobile-phone-evolution-facts-figures-history-statistics/
And nuclear will be more competitive as well, as the new generation of reactors factor many new financial and technical innovations, such as combined construction and operating permits, and inherent safety. If actinide recycle gets its chance, the fuel costs per cycle will go way down. There is enough uranium and thorium in the ground to last 10,000 years. Streamlined and more efficient regulation will also help in this country. Solar panels still need raw materials to be mined and mining is a heavy, cost intensive industry. If you cut costs mining, people die.
No matter what, solar and wind will remain the harbinger of the well heeled. A long time ago, I received a prospectus on owning part of a wind farm, and the tax write offs alone were worth pursuing even if the wind farm didn’t make a dime. I am more hoi poloi these days. People that buy bread at WalMart usually cant invest in wind. Id like to put a solar panel up on my house, but its not feasible in the current location. Id have to cut down trees. Heaven forbid some tree hugging econazi come down on me for that. I have high accuracy solar position algorithms but it doesn’t matter. In the end, private solar also remains out of reach for most people.
I read an interesting article regarding how the price of nuclear has gone up while in So. Korea it has actually decreased. There are cultural and political forces in the US that drove nuclear costs way up after TMI, most of them unwarranted. After major incidents, costs go up as a knee-jerk reaction. The pendulum is swinging back to reasonable. I believe with actinide recycle, maybe within 20 years, nuclear costs will come down appreciably. The actinides recycle also answers the “million years monitoring ” fallacy.
Run kickstarters for that stuff and do it. Don’t just post on the internet about those a-so-wonderfull-nukes.
I’m not a marketing, fundraising, or PR person. I do technology. Kickstart error isn’t the right platform.
Well, then better find a better spot than kickstarter and a bunch of talented PR people as otherwise those perfect nukes – which will solve humanities energy problems – will stay a pipe dream.
Renewables are here now and they beat the hell out of the incumbents, be they coal, nukes or gas no matter if they get subsidies or not and no matter if there will be a price on carbon or not.
So, the choice is totally yours, just don’t expect to get anything worthwhile done on a blog that is singing to the tunes of renewables.
Renewable sources can’t operate 24/7 and are too costly for the average joe. Nuclear c with actinide recycle is in fact renewable so it belongs on a renewable blog. So eat a bag of dix.
Who said car manufacturers are not inventive.
Here in Australia we are going back in time. We buy 2012 model LEAFs as brand new in 2016.
In the US they go forward in time. You can buy 2017 model Volts in 2016.
