Other automakers are moving into the plug-in hybrid market, so Chevrolet has decided to continue developing the Volt, despite the lack of sufficient market demand.
For the 2013 model year, the appeal of the car will be improved upon, as General Motors reportedly plans to make more features standard for their extender-range EVs.
Among the changes on the way is a new feature called “EV Hold Mode,” which has been available on the European Opel Ampera. This switches seamlessly between using power from the battery and generated by the motor to become more efficient.
For 2013, the big headlines GM is preparing are standard MyLing connectivity, as well as lane departure warning and forward collision alert. Yes, that means they are playing the active safety card now.
The 2013 Chevrolet Volt will become more like a normal car, as cosmetic changes will include body-colored rear lift gate and roof. Production should start in the fall.
