Chevy Speeds Up Volt Rollout

Chevy has seen an incredible increase in the demand for the new Chevy Volt and has decided that it would be in everyone's best interest to get it out sooner rather than later. Georgia wasn't supposed to see the Volt until 4th quarter of 2011 and now that date has been bumped up to 3rd quarter. So Georgia will get the Volt a bit sooner than expected. Along with Georgia, the other states that will enjoy the early release will be Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, North and South Carolina, Florida, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii. With up to 40 miles on the initial electric charge, and up to a whopping 230 mpg from the 8-gallon gas tank, the Volt can travel as many as 1,880 miles between fill-ups (this depends upon other factors such as outside temperature, air-conditioning use and driving speed). So it's not surprising that people are excited about saving on gas as gas prices continue to rise while some say that it will hit $4 per gallon before the year is out. I'm sure everyone recalls the gas shortage a couple of years ago. You'd have been much happier if you were in a Chevrolet Volt. And don't be shocked if that fiasco happens again. Take a test drive of the Volt in Georgia right now at Jim Ellis Chevrolet and get your reserved before initial stock is depleted.
