Chevrolet claims that development of the new Volt is on schedule.

 Join more than 33,000 others who have expressed interest in buying the new all-electric Chevrolet Volt by signing up through Lyle Dennis' GM-Volt.com.

Dennis, a prominent enthusiast of the Volt, has been building a list of prospective buyers on his Web site in an effort to show that demand and interest does exist for an all-electric vehicle.

General Motors has stated that the first-generation Volt will travel 40 miles on battery charge alone and will cost $40,000, which is substantially more than most potential buyers on Dennis' Web site have stated they are willing to spend. 

The Volt is scheduled to debut in 2010 and GM is racing Toyota to be the first manufacturer to bring a mass-market plug-in vehicle to the marketplace. 

For more info: Why is showing demand so important?  Rent or buy the movie Who Killed the Electric Car? and learn how a perceived lack of demand for electric cars led to the demise of GM's EV1 in the 1990s.
