GM to produce 60,000 Volts in 2012

GM's CEO Akerson wants to build 60,000 Volt's in 2012

Okay, let's hear it from the naysayers about the death of the Volt.


They are still trying to push a car that's been a market failure in 2011, with big safety issues. The fact it's government supported, through incentives, should not be surprising after this administration wastes taxpayer dollars with other experiments like Solyndra. This is just a last ditch effort, by Obama and GM, to try and save a production line.

General Motors Co. (GM)’s Chevrolet Volt will miss its sales target of 10,000 cars this year, the company said. While dealers sold 1,139 of the plug-in hybrids last month, the company is more than 3,800 shy of its 2011 goal.

While GM is expanding annual production to 60,000 units starting in January, the Volt is being investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration because its batteries caught on fire in the weeks following three government crash tests. NHTSA announced a safety probe of the Volt Nov. 25.
