The revolutionary Chevrolet Volt is still more than two years away from production, but a solid waitlist has already formed for the range-extending hybrid – more than 34,000 people have joined an online waitlist for the Volt.
The website GM-Volt.com was started just days after General Motors unveiled the Volt concept in January 2007, with the intent of showing GM just how strong public demand was for a vehicle like the Volt. In May 2007 the site started a waitlist for the yet-to-be-produced Volt, and has since tallied over 34,000 handraisers.
Although the waitlist is far from official, it does show that there is strong demand for the Volt — so much so that GM is actually considering using the waitlist in some way.
Demand for the Volt spans over all 50 states, with citizens in 58 countries expressing interest in the vehicle. According to GM-Volt, the average individual is willing to spend $31,300 on the Volt – which is probably about $10,000 less than the Volt will retail from – with 7,300 handraisers actually ready to plunk down a deposit on the fuel-sipping Volt.
