Chevrolet to plug in Down Under
October 20th, 2008 | Published in Featured, News
General Motors’ ChevroletVolt will be sold in right-hand-drive Australia, according to local reports. Local GM unit Holden unveiled the electric car at Sydney Motor Show and confirmed it would be in Australian dealerships by 2012.
Pricing - and whether or not the car would be badged as a Chevrolet or Holden - is yet to be confirmed but the new car is expected to cost over A$30,000.
GM exports some Holden models to the Middle East, South Africa and South America badged as Chevrolets but has not marketed the brand in Australia since the late 1960s when it stopped assembling Chevrolets and Pontiacs from kits imported from Canada.
The Volt is expected to be the first plug-in electric car to go on sale in Australia.
