We keep getting invited from GM to sit in on one of their live chats over at GMNext.com Around 3pm EDT yesterday we decided to give it a shot because we were interested in what Bob Boniface, Design Director for the Chevrolet Volt, had to say about the upcoming plug-in hybrid.
What we already know about the Volt: We’re just going to go ahead and make a bullet list of all the things we already know about the Volt.
- Unofficially, over 34,000 people are interested in purchasing the Volt seeing as the price is around $31,000.
- GM will show the Volt to employees at its 100th anniversary celebration - an LA Auto Show debut is rumored.
- The original fuel-tank capacity of the Volt has been shrunk to less than 12 gallons, cutting down the original target range of 600 miles to 360 miles.
- GM plans to produce 70,000 units in the first 2 years.
- A price of $30,000 is not likely without tax credits and incentives.
- The Chevrolet Volt will get 40 miles on electric charge alone and can be charged via any house socket.
