The Chinese are running at redline to develop, improve and promote their domestic automotive industry. Brands like FAW, Chang’an Motors and SAIC may be totally obscure to the typical American car buyer, but they may become household names in just a few years. One company that’s pushing hard is the GAC group.

Thanks to additional costs for services and repairs, some Chevy dealers are choosing not to carry the Volt.

Indianapolis plans to swap all its city-use sedans for electrified cars according to a new order signed by mayor Greg Ballard.

Collectively, Chevrolet claims that owners of Volt range-extended EVs have driven over 100 million miles on nothing but all-electric power. 

Chevrolet’s answer to the electric car problem, the Volt, faltered in sales last month, dropping to roughly half the volume seen in September and October. 

Sporty, aggressive and imposing aren’t words many people would associate with the Chevrolet Volt, but the brand might borrow cues from its European subsidiary, Opel,  for the car’s next generation.

Roughly 4,000 Chevrolet Volts are at risk of shutting down while in motion because of a software glitch.

OnStar is testing a new app that will tell  Chevrolet Volt owners the energy cost associated with charging their car. 

There’s nothing worse in a salesman’s world than having a product almost nobody wants, which is why GM and Nissan are offering slashed lease rates on the Volt and Leaf.

Electric cars are still a tough sell with consumers, but plug-in hybrids are starting to get more bites as people warm to the idea of the highly-efficient cars.

Among the many things going on at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) during the course of a year, there is the very messy task of crashing car after car after car.

Despite record setting sales numbers in August, the Chevrolet Volt is still losing about $49,000 on every unit sold, according to a Reuters report.

The Chevrolet Volt may be enjoying improved sales over the last few months, but the American automaker is still not satisfied with the results. In hopes of getting more Volt drivers on the road, some dealerships are offering a lease special thanks to dealer incentives.

The Chevrolet Volt’s extended range strategy seems to be paying off this year with sales up in the six-figure percentages while the Nissan Leaf languishes as the unpopular second choice. 

Pathetic. That’s the only way these numbers could be described were this about any other car, and to a certain extent they still are.
