By late 2010, if plans stay on course, GM will begin
rolling out the Chevy
Volt. Unfortunately, however, 2010 might see less
than 1000 plug-in Volts hit the road. In 2011, GM
hopes to produce 10,000 Volts, followed by 60,000 the
following year. Thus, the world won't see 100,000
Volts per year until at least sometime after 2012.
While I'm a fan of the Volt, less than a year ago, I
asked Bob Lutz about a dual mode hybrid Prius fighter.
He essentially asked why, when something like the Volt
would be superior to the Toyota
Prius, according to Lutz. For perception, I
replied back then, to prove that GM had changed and
that it could and would take on the Prius.
However, if I saw him today, I would ask, with $4.00+
gas, can GM really wait several more years before GM
isn't only challenging the Prius with possibly better
technology, but in numbers that matter?
