Because Chevrolet has shaved almost 150 pounds from its total weight, the 2016 Volt’s acceleration has also improved by half a second and can now go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds.
The 2016 Chevy Volt is expected to cost $33,995 after the destination charge of $825, making it cheaper by $1,175 from the current price of the 2015 model which is at $35,170. But once the owner starts factoring the available electric vehicle incentives on federal and state levels, the next-generation Volt actually qualifies for the full $7,500 federal tax credit and most of the highest state incentives.
In California, where the Volt sells like hotcakes, the state offers another $1,500 incentive while in Pennsylvania, its $2,000. So any which way, the Volt consumers win. After the incentives are taken off, the price of the 2016 Chevy Volt actually goes down to $24,995 which is really cheap vis-à-vis the features and benefits that it brings to the table for users.
