The Volt Is Getting Real

Underhood - 2011 Chevrolet Volt

I found a a web site that has a Initial Ordering Workbook you can download at allnewchevyvolt.com

There is a countdown clock on the site, and at the time of this posting, it shows just over 100 day to go before their expected to get the first of the deliveries. The time is now if you want to be an early adopter to place your order.

And the site has the best chart to understand the potential of the Volt MPG, and this different thinking of MPG’s is not complex. Just drive the Volt the way you need to, not constrained by battery range limitation and trip planing.

Singh Chevrolet , is a dealership in California, that is at the top of there game on promotion of the Volt!

They also has posted on GM-Volt.com the first of the modules for training and are nice enough to share them as they come down the pipeline from GM. So have fun quizzing your salesperson in your test drive. Thanks CorvetteGuy

The Volt is here for the long haul, but this entrance ramp is going to be a fast one, with the increase in car production just recently announced.

New facts I didn’t know about the Volt:

  • Under the hood there is a High Voltage Battery and Power Electronics Coolant Reservoirs, which make sense to maintain the core of the components temperature and increase their life.
  • Pushing the ‘leaf’ button access the “Vehicle Performance Feedback” on the center display. 2 years ago it was a topic of wonder of what that button would do.
  • I thought the government rebate came off the price at the time you buy, but it is just like when I got my Honda Civic Hybrid rebate, you get it when you file your tax return. So it will be your responsibility to send the rebate in and knock your car loan down $7,500 or keep it. The virtual lower price is still true but people who buy in January will have a long wait for the money because it would be on 2011′s tax year. I got $2,000 in 2006 for the Civic’s rebate.
  • And it is going to cost more for me to get my red paint color.

The Volt is real and will be setting in show rooms soon, but it just might get crazy to find one before December.
