September 1, 2011

Volt demand not as robust as hoped Volt sales just don’t seem to be catching on, as Chevy moved 302 Volts in August. We think that it comes back to the basics that moved many away from considering it as an alternative – it costs too much and it only seats four. New technology is […]
