Interesting news comes to us from the States — as reported today by The Detroit Free Press, Chevrolet had some difficulties with the sale of the remaining first generation Volt. Difficulties about 6000 idle instances.
If anyone has forgotten, we recall at the beginning of the year, Chevy showed a plug-in hybrid Volt is the second generation, and its sale will start soon. Newbie, frankly, was much cuter (fotoaparata looking for below), a little faster and even more economical, thereby providing a greater range — installation of a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, electric motor and battery pack costs only 2.3 liters of fuel per hundred, and is capable of 676 kilometers without refueling, and only on electricity capable of 80 km; optionally, from petrol to give up almost completely — a full recharge from a 240-volt outlet will take 4.5 hours.








And yet, the 2016 Volt is better equipped and, thanks to a new state incentive program for buyers of eco-cars will cost significantly cheaper than its predecessor (about $26 500 versus $34 000). In other words, the first Volts special nobody gave up. This is confirmed by the collapsed demand for the first four months of the year, Chevrolet sold only 2779 copies of the model, which is 46% less than in the same period of 2014.
So with the implementation of the remaining 6000 machines, apparently, Chevy will have any difficulties. Let's see how that goes.
