The Chinese market has huge demand for cleaner cars and electric vehicles right now, due to the strong government incentives. This is causing a number of automotive giants like VW and GM to consider building dedicated factories there in order to take advantage of incentives offered to customers for locally-assembled EV.
But until that happens, GM has decided to import the Volt extended range electric vehicle to eight Chinese cities. But the move is meant more of a way to boost awareness than anything, since the Volt is priced at a staggering $78,300, which is roughly twice what Americans have to pay.
GM is clearly not expecting to shift a lot of these, since only 13 dealers are part of the network in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan.
