Chevrolet has announced that the 2014 Volt EV will have a starting price of $34,995, including the $810 destination fee, which makes it $5,000 cheaper when compared with the current model.
Despite lowering the price, Chevrolet kept the same features on its best-selling electric vehicle while adding two new exterior colors - Ashen Gray Metallic and Brownstone Metallic. The 2014 Volt will return the same 98 MPGe in electric mode and 35 city/40 highway when using gasoline power.
As a reminder, the Chevrolet Volt can be acquired using federal tax credits that can go as high as $7,500. The maximum amount could lower the EV’s price down to $27,495. The 2014 Chevrolet Volt will arrive in dealerships later this summer.
“The lower price and cost savings from driving on electricity provide Volt owners an unmatched balance of technology, capability and cost of ownership,” said Don Johnson, US vice president, Chevrolet sales and service. “The 2014 Volt will offer the same impressive list of features, but for $5,000 less.”
“We have made great strides in reducing costs as we gain experience with electric vehicles and their components,” Johnson added. “In fact, the Volt has seen an increase in battery range and the addition of creature comforts, such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and MyLink, since its launch in 2010.”
