The Long Island town of Babylon, New York has reportedly scored a sweet deal when it purchased four Chevrolet Volts, with the first one just being delivered yesterday. The price? A cool $29,500 each.
The use of the sophisticated plug-in sedans will go towards the town’s code enforcement agents and inspectors. What’s more, there will be 10 charging stations installed around the town to help ensure the vehicle can stay in EV mode for as long as possible.
But obviously, the focus point here is the price of the vehicles. If the Volt commanded a price of under $30,000 on dealer lots, would that be low enough for you to afford one?

How did they secure that price? Is that the cost to the town, reduced through some grant or other additional funding, or did they buy the vehicles for that price? The article was restricted to subscribers only and the video didn’t talk about the price.
Saw my first Volt in the wild in Rirmingham, AL. The car was very nice looking. The price must be whats killing sales.
The price and availability. They aren’t too easy to find if you want a specific color or package.
They probably took advantage of the national rebate program… can towns even do that?
Our finance manager at the Chevy store asked a great question: If you lease a Volt, do you get the rebates?
No, to the best of my knowledge, you just get the $350 a month flat rate lease from The General.
If you lease it GM gets the rebate, you see that in being able to lease it for $300 a month instead of some higher number. Does anyone know why they were able to get it at this price and if that price was before the $7500 federal tax credit? If a Volt was $30k, $22.5k after the rebate GM would sell every one they made.
In Toronto the volt is hard to get at any price… I waited four months for mine and I paid list price… why is GM giving Americans prefered treatment? What happened to fairness in trade and why make consumers in other countries wait? What happened to Americas business first focus ? This car is an amazing piece of engineering, I loved it the moment I got it, it should be a sellout, so how about mr Gm , you start shipping it to were the customers are?
You can buy it from a dealer in the US. There’s no need to wait if your local dealer can’t get one.
