This is the second time the Volt has won the award. The Volt, which started arriving in dealerships this fall, also won the award when it debuted in 2010 as a 2011 model. Green Car Journal praised the Volt’s increased range, all-new propulsion system and bold design. The Green Car of the Year award is determined by an 11-member panel, and is based on fuel efficiency, Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board certifications, performance and affordability. Other criteria include availability and accessibility. The other finalists were the Audi A3 e-tron, Honda Civic, Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Prius. “Chevrolet’s all-new Volt is a milestone, building on an already-technologically advanced ‘green’ car and delivering what buyers have longed for, including an impressive 53-mile (85 km) driving range on a single charge,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. “A visually appealing design, increased five-passenger seating, and an array of on- board electronics combine with the Volt’s inherent efficiencies to make the 2016 Chevrolet Volt a real winner,” Cogan said. The all-new Volt delivers a pure EV driving range of up to 85 kilometres and a new 1.5L range extender, designed to use regular unleaded fuel and offers a combined fuel consumption rating of 5.6 L/100kms.

  • General Motors: the Electric Revolution Sharon L
    Journal of Business Case Studies – Second Quarter 2014 Volume 10, Number 2 General Motors: The Electric Revolution Sharon L. Poczter, Cornell University, USA Luka M. Jankovic, Cornell University, USA ABSTRACT The recent explosion in demand for electric vehicles, fueled by both increasing gas prices and rising awareness of consumers to environmental concerns, has challenged traditional car manufacturers to explore alternatives to gas-powered automobiles. Of the new models presenting alternatives to traditional gas-powered cars, the award-winning Tesla Model S and Nissan Leaf have commanded the majority of the attention and sales in the electric car market. General Motors’ Volt, on the other hand, has seen lukewarm sales after missing its high production and consumption expectations. As the inevitable pursuit of sustainable solutions for energy use continues, GM is placed in a precarious situation. On the one hand, their attempts at entering the electric car market have been unsuccessful thus far. On the other hand, retreating from the emerging industry may be detrimental if gas-powered cars become vestigial in the future. Should GM simply continue to manufacture standard automobiles? Or should they invest further in electric vehicles, acquiring the necessary technology to compete with market leaders? Keywords: Market Entry; Automobile Industry; Electric Automobiles INTRODUCTION t is 2013. A tense boardroom convenes at the General Motors headquarters in Detroit, Michigan. The anxious board looks on at Daniel Akerson, CEO and Chairman of General Motors, sitting pensively at the end of the table. The agenda: managing the threat of the emerging electric car industry. I GM’s foray into the electric vehicle market in 2010 with the hybrid Chevrolet Volt fell short of expectations as other manufacturers produced electric vehicles that had longer ranges, shorter recharging times, lower prices, and better all-around performance.

    Chevrolet Volt Wins 2016 Canadian Green Car Award Volt continues to accumulate accolades TORONTO (Friday, April 15, 2016) – The 2016 Chevrolet Volt was recognized today with the 2016 Green Car Award at the Green Living Show. “Chevrolet is honoured to receive the 2016 Canadian Green Car Award here at the Green Living Show, as it reinforces our leadership and commitment to electrification of the automobile,” said Nicolas Longpre, assistant brand manager, Chevrolet Canada. “With up to 85 kilometres of EV range, the second-generation Volt is a no-compromise electric vehicle that eliminates range anxiety with its on- board generator, making it the most innovative plug-in vehicle in the industry.” The Canadian Green Car Award recognizes vehicles, widely available in Canada, that combine impressive environmental attributes with strong mass-market appeal, as a result, the assessments included both “objective” criteria, such as fuel economy, emissions and price, and the judges’ evaluations of performance, driving experience, value, features and “green” qualities. Those environmental benefits not only included fuel efficiency and emissions but also the use of sustainable or recyclable materials and measures taken by manufacturers to green their operations. A panel of top Canadian automotive journalists selected the Volt, the plug-in family car from among six category winners as the vehicle that best combines environmental benefits and mass-market appeal. The 2016 Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle with extended range showcases a sleeker, sportier design that offers up to 85 kilometres of EV range, greater efficiency and stronger acceleration. The Volt’s new propulsion system offers a significantly increased total driving range while the new 1.5L range extender, designed to use regular unleaded fuel, offers a combined fuel consumption rating of 5.6 L/100km eliminating range anxiety.
