“Chevrolet global marketing boss Tim Mahoney, briefing members of the Washington Automotive Press Association in Arlington, Va., Tuesday, wouldn’t say whether the car makes or loses money. Instead, he said its ‘ability to draw new customers to Chevrolet is a major consideration.’ Automakers are forced to take the losses to do business in states that require them to sell a certain number of ‘zero-local-emission’ vehicles. That’s a relatively new description, to acknowledge that the utility power plants generating electricity to recharge electrics do create emissions.”
