Demand spurs Chevrolet to start selling demo cars of Chevy Volt

By Cornelius Nunev


Chevrolet recently authorized shops to begin selling the demo versions of the Volt, Chevrolet's plug-in electric hy-brid. Sales have been de-cent, but there's concern that models with the preferred opportunities are not available.

Opposition for Volt

Last year, the Chevrolet volt was published. It cost more than the Nissan Leaf and other hybrid cars. The Nissan Motors Leaf is still doing better than the Chevy Volt even though it has been doing very well in sales, as reported by the Detroit News. The Leaf is completely electric, and the Volt has a "range extending" gas-powered generator. Chevrolet expected that in 2011, 10,000 would sell. Between Jan and October, only 5,003 had been sold. Nissan Motors sold 8,048 Leafs in that time.

It costs less to get the Leaf too. The 2012 model lists for $35,200 and the 2011 model lists for $32,780. For $39,995, you are able to get the Volt. It is a few thousand higher. The $7,500 green automobile tax credit is availa-ble for both of them.

Selling demo units

In order to boost sales, as reported by USA Today, Chevrolet has approved retailers to start selling the demonstration units of the Volt to consumers if they want them. Since the Volt model wasn't accessible to individuals, 72 percent of consumers didn't purchase the Volt. It is also an issue that the supply is limited. Shops only have a few versions. About 700 Chevrolet shops don't have the Volt accessible to sell or show to customers, although 2,600 Chevrolet shops were approved to sell the automobile.

There are around 2,300 Volts sitting on lots that haven't been there for six months. They have to sit for six months as demo automobiles before they could be sold. There are 4,100 Volts accessible to be sold, once the demo units are incorporated. AutoBlog reports that there are around 1,800 being sent to dealer-ships right now. They may also be sold.

Who's purchasing the vehicles?

The Orlando Sentinel reports that the DeLand, Fla., City council approved brand new city cars. They can purchase five Chevy Volts for this. A $1.3 million federal grant will be given to the city. This is due to the green changes. The Volts will be used alongside Toyota Prius and Camry hybrids already in use.

According to a press release in the Sacramento Bee, MPG Automobile Rental, a hybrid car and green vehicle rental service in Los An-gles, has also acquired the Chevy Volt, but the press release doesn't mention how many it purchased. These will likely be added by rental agencies and cities. They'll become accessible to more as time goes on.
