You moron. This has been debunked many times
The idiot that wrote your source article forgot to mention that most of that cost was development costs. These are high because everything about the Volt had to be designed & tested.
"Based on interviews with industry experts, Reuters estimated it costs GM between $75,000 and $88,000 today to build each Volt. Most of that --$56,000 -- comes from the cost to develop the Volt's unique power system, a combination of gas engine, electric motors, massive lithium-ion battery pack and a complicated transmission, all powered by custom GM software that controls how the car starts, stops and recharges. The rest of the cost comes from the raw material, labor costs and other overhead."

Development costs are real costs, particularly when sales do not follow.

Using even your math, the Volt costs $32,000 to manufacture, leaving no possibility of profit.

Maybe this is why you aren't & never have run anything other than your mouth.
If you have no work for a person, you do not hire them.
This is the simple point that you dumbsss right whiners can't understand.
You f*cking idiots keep wanting to give businesses money to increase employment numbers yet they won't hire unless they have demand.
If you have no revenue-generating work for a person, you do not hire them.

What is revenue generating work??

Is it product demand.

Companies don't hire unless they have something that needs done.

This is what I just said & you said I was wrong.

My God, you are too stupid to even know what you post.

Development costs are to be spread over several years of production.

I know you right whiners don't get it but many people do understand or need to reduce our oil usage & greenhouse gas emissions.

As more & more electric cars are sold, production costs will come down.

Again, you demonstrate a lack of business knowledge.

Winning elections and failing to control the budget and the debt, while allowing the economy to wallow in the crapper.
So things should be turned over to the GOP, who failed to control the debt, and left the economy in the crapper?

And yet, you constantly whine that everything is Obama's fault.
Europe's second dip recession is because of austerity.
You know, the GOP plan.

US Banks made bad loans and then sold them to Wall St. Wall St. then sold them to the world. That is why the world collapsed in 2007/2008 and not just the US.

It's Waxturd, who lives in TOPIX 24/7 because he has no life. No one ever responds to him, so he has to steal other people's screen name.
He's a childish and seriously sick individual.
Ignore him/her/it.
We all do.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Scorpio

Don't believe everything you see today and your memory could be playing tricks on you, too. You might remember things in a distorted or false way, through no fault of your own. You may also be reading too much into the situations that are going on around you, making it hard for you to know what's really happening. Try not to make any big decisions today because you simply aren't thinking straight.
