The Chevy Volt extended-range electric car is expected to hit showrooms in November 2010 and will be rolled out in “waves” across the United States.
This first markets are California, Michigan, Washington DC, Texas and New York. New Jersey and Connecticut will join in mid 2011.
GM has said it will produce 10,000 Volts in the 2011 calendar year and 30,000 Volts in the 2012 calendar year. Actual capacity could be greater than that.
With such limited availability, demand will likely be high.
There are close to 3000 Chevrolet dealerships across the United States. Not all of them will receive Volt allocations. To become a Chevy Volt dealer, the organization will have to commit to significant training to both sell and more importantly service these new technology cars.
As of July 2010 over 600 dealers have signed up to participate.
