2011 Chevrolet Volt
GM's estimates of producing 200-400 Chevy Volts in 2010 and around 10,000 in 2011 are down significantly from predictions several years ago that 60,000 Volts will be made in the first year. However, Autonews believes that the actual number of plug-in hybrids, like the Volt, that will use LG Chem's lithium-ion packs that GM can make a year is actually 70,000. Autonews also said that it expects Voltec system's pack would cost $8,000. These numbers were arrived at after analysis of GM's new $43 million battery plant in Brownstown Township south of Detroit. Pilot production will begin at the Brownstown plant in the first quarter of 2010.
