As we near closer to the launch date of the new Chevrolet Volt, General Motors announces plans to increase production of the Volt by 50% to 45,000 units in 2012. This comes after announcement of the official price of the Volt and President Obama’s tour of the Detroit Hamtramck facility where the Volt is being built. Detroit-Hamtramck makes up one of eight facilities located in Michigan that GM has invested in since 2008 in preparation for production of the Volt. Originally there were plans to produce up to 30,000 Chevy Volts in year 2012. It seems there is a major push from the Obama administration to revolutionize how we consume energy and it will start with vehicles such as the Chevy Volt. The Volt is capable of traveling up to 40 miles on battery power alone. Factor in the gas powered motor acting as the charging agent in the new Volt and will essentially have a long-range “electric vehicle”.
