GM to Stop Production of Chevy Volt

摘要

Chevy Volt, the face of vehicle electrification at General Motors for the past eight years, will be discontinued in March 2019, the automaker announced this week.The Volt, which combines a gasoline engine with an electric powertrain, didn't fit GM's long-term direction, which calls for battery-electricmodels rather than plug-in hybrids. "There were a number of different reasons, but the main one was that we're committed to an all-electric future,"GM spokesman Kevin Kelly told Design News.
