Total sales of the Chevy Volt in 2011 were only 7,700
Chevrolet sold only 7,700 Volts for the entire 2011 year. That’s far below the target of 10,000. The trend continued into 2012, where in January Chevrolet sold only 603 Volts. The GM North America President blamed bad publicity from the government’s investigation into the fire risks.
By comparison, Nissan sold nearly 9,700 Leafs in 2011, and Nissan hopes to double that number in 2012.
From a fuel price management perspective, it’s clear that electric vehicles, while only slowly making traction in sales volumes, are steadily increasing. Clearly fuel price management strategies need to include electric vehicles longterm.
