(2011 Chevrolet VOLT shown in Crystal Red Metallic Tricoat finish)

Having watched the Chevrolet VOLT go from an Auto Show proto-type dream vehicle to a production ready technological wonder in a little more than three years, the time for speculation as to its cost may be nearing an end.  Rumors have circulated over the weekend that General Motors' new Marketing Chief, Joel Ewanick, is scheduled to announce the introductory Chevrolet VOLT pricing at the Plug-In 2010 expo in San Jose, CA, as early as 12 noon on Tuesday, July 27th.  The story has been circulated on several automotive sites today, including GM-VOLT.com and EV World.

As we get closer to the launch of the 2011 Chevrolet VOLT in November 2010, consumers all around Connecticut and New York are really starting to pay attention and ask questions.  And we are able to answer many more questions today as more specific information has become available.
