Sales of the $39,995 Chevrolet Volt increased 240 percent in September, from 302 units in August to 723. That brings the grand total of Volts sold since it entered production in late 2010 to approximately 4495.
General Motors maintains that demand is high and it will sell 10,000 Volts by the end of 2011. but that many of the 8,668 cars it has built this year have been earmarked as dealer demonstration vehicles as it works to expand sales of the car beyond the six markets the plug-in hybrid was launched in last year. Over two thousand dealers need to be provided demos from the 2012 model year before they can commence sales of the car to customers.
Production was only ramped up to full speed in early September and now stands at a rate of 150 vehicles per day. Many of the 2,367 cars produced during the month are still in transit to dealers and buyers and, as of today, there are only 884 cars in the pipeline that are available for retail sale.
