After a limited launch in just a handful of markets late last year, the Chevy Volt will be available nationwide by the end of this year.
The Volt is the world's first production electric vehicle with extended range capability but it's a very complex vehicle that may or may not be the best choice for everyone.
Throughout the development of the Volt from early 2007 to late 2010, I wrote about the technology and the people developing it for AutoblogGreen and Autoblog. I recently compiled those articles into an e-book called Recharging the Car. The book is now available at a reduced price on the Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook and Apple iBooks stores. http://rechargingthecar.abuelsamid.com/

How limited was the launch? I've actually seen quite a few running around Long Island and in the Bay Area, didn't realize they were not easily available by now.
Congrats on the e-book! I'll have to check it out. 🙂
Initially the Volt was only available in California, metro New York, DC, Austin Texas and Michigan. Over the past few months, they have rolling it out to additional states and it will be on sale nationwide by the end of the year.
Well no wonder sales have been dismal, then. I guess I shouldn't assume the areas I'm usually in are representative of the whole country.
