2011 Chevrolet Volt Can Be Ordered Now For Delivery Late This Year
The 2011 Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle with extended-range capability can be ordered now for a price starting at $41,000 ($33,500 net of the full federal tax credit, which ranges from $0-$7,500) including a destination freight charge of $720 OR on a lease program with a monthly payment as low as $350 for 36 months at the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price with $2,500 due at lease signing, including security deposit based on current conditions, which could vary at time of delivery. The benefit of the $7,500 tax credit is included in the reduced lease payment, with the tax credit going to the lessor. Customer deliveries of the Chevrolet Volt are scheduled to begin in launch markets late this year with initial production limited.
The Volt will be initially available to Chevrolet customers in California, New York, Michigan, Connecticut, Texas, New Jersey and the Washington D.C. area. A Volt dealer locator is available at http://www.getmyvolt.com. For customers needing general Volt information, Chevrolet will have a team of Volt advisors available to answer questions at 1-888-VOLT-4-YOU.
The Chevrolet Volt has a total driving range of about 340 miles and is powered by electricity at all times. For up to the first 40 miles, the Volt drives gas- and tailpipe-emissions-free using electricity stored in its 16-kWh lithium-ion battery. When the Volt's battery runs low, a gas powered range-extending engine/generator seamlessly operates to extend the driving range another 300 miles on a full tank.
The Volt is the first GM vehicle to offer five years of OnStar Directions and Connections service, which includes Automatic Crash Response, stolen vehicle assistance and connected navigation, all standard. Volt will introduce an OnStar-enabled mobile app that connects the vehicle to the owner's smartphone. The Volt also has eight air bags -- dual-stage frontal, side-impact, knee, and roof-rail side-impact—and StabiliTrak electronic stability control with Traction Control.
