Only 1,703 Chevy Volt models were sold by General Motors during April, but there are plans to boost that production considerably for the 2012 model. Their plant from Detroit will be closed for a period of four weeks, as GM prepares it to produce Opel Ampera and 2012 Chevy Volt models. This plant will be capable to produce 16,000 cars during 2011 and it will go up to 60,000 during 2012. Out of these 60,000 Chevy Volts, three quarters will be produced for the United States.

As soon as the 2012 Chevy Volt begins production, the sales for the United States will begin. Right now you can only get the 2011 models in certain area, including New York, California, New Jersey, Maryland, Texas, Washington DC, Virginia and Connecticut. Towards the end of the year, exports to Europe, Canada and China will begin as well.

The Chevrolet Volt, an electric vehicle that’s been making some serious fans during the last couple of years, thanks to its look and extended range, is now available for pre-orders in Canada, for a price that starts from CA$41,545 for the base version. The first cities where the Chevrolet Volt will be sold are Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Quebec, Victoria, Ottawa and Oshawa. The first happy customers that will receive their Chevrolet Volt are going to get their new toy during the third trimester of 2011. According to a statement from General Motors Canada, the Chevrolet Volt will show up in all the dealerships in the country in about a year from the time of the launch.

In case you don’t know what the Chevrolet Volt is about, this is an electric car with a range of about 80km, which also has a regular 1.4L petrol engine that becomes a generator and extends the range of the car to around 500 km, provided the tank is full of petrol. Since most people really don’t drive that much during the day, as long as you drive around the city and you go to work with it, you shouldn’t need to consume any gasoline. Once you’re home in the evening you can plug in the car and reload the batteries. [Source: RPMGO]
