Indeed, Chevy’s own sales have been reportedly lower than usual lately, probably due to the fact that so many people are waiting to get their hands on the 2016 Volt and don’t want to spend their money on anything else.
If the new Volt is a successful release though, it should definitely work wonders for the company’s popularity on the market, and should help them regain their sales numbers quite fast. With so much attention on the new model, it’s hard to believe that it’s going to flop, but we can’t say for sure until it’s been released.
On the other hand, as we said above, other companies have been catching up as well, and it looks like it’s going to be a very fierce competition in the electric market for Chevy quite soon. This can only mean good things for buyers of course, so we probably aren’t going to hear any complaints from that side.
Also, as a curious note, Chevrolet have corrected their figures for the car’s mileage slightly, changing it from 43 mpg to 41, but at the moment the official full list of EPA numbers hasn’t been released, so we might see additional changes before the car hits the market. Hopefully, they will be on a positive note.
