Chevrolet Volt Home Charging Unit Priced At $490

Chevrolet Volt has an official MSRP of around $40,000 USD, but as we learned the dealers are charging considerably more than that.

And don’t you think that’s it, becasue this kind of green motoring has its costs!

AS you know GM does not supply a 4-hour recharge home charging unit with the Volt and you have to buy it separately, well unless you are prepared to waste 10 hours for each recharge! Now SPX Service Solutions can sell you one of those units, for $490. Then again you may say WTH I can live with that.

But you see, that’s not $490, the real cost of it is over $2,000 USD! The 490 is the price of the unit without installation. Based on the place you want to put it, the installation costs up to $1,475. They don’t tell you from the get go because they’re afraid it will put you off!

Goin’ green ain’t cheap!
