The GM Authority Take

The decrease in U.S. Volt sales volume during April and May follows 18 consecutive months of volume growth, a circumstance created by the rollout of the second-generation model, which was available only in select markets in select markets. It’s also possible that the recently-launched Chevy Bolt EV is responsible for cannibalizing some Volt sales.

  1. A Trax Volt would do better than this vehicle.

    1. Yes a little, but a Trax isn’t that much bigger than Bolt. An Equinox or Traverse Voltec vehicle is needed. If you build it on the shortened Acadia design, that would be perfect, as it would be unique to Chevy showrooms in size.
