Quote Of The Day: “Five Years From Now, When I’m Not President, I’ll Buy One Myself” – Obama On The Chevrolet Volt

Click here to view the embedded video.

You heard it yourself. When Obama is out of office, he'll buy a Chevrolet Volt and drive it himself. The Secret Service, which famously wouldn't let Obama drive the Volt down the Hamtramck assembly line, generally protects the President for up to 10 years after they leave office – we'd assume that the "no driving" clause applies here. So Obama's Volt may sit for a long time – hopefully it won't brick.

Meanwhile, the DoE's projection of 120,000 Volts produced in 2012 (let alone sold to consumers) still looks a little optimistic. GM just restarted production of the car a few days ago. Their sales target of 45,000 in 2012 has been abandoned after coming 2,300 units short of their 10,000 unit goal. GM now says that they will adjust "supply to meet demand".
