After months of hype and speculation, the Chevrolet Volt has finally hit the stands. Earlier today, retired airline pilot Jeffrey Kaffee took delivery of the first production Chevy Volt to hit the roads. Kaffee had traded in his 2005 Toyota Prius and claims he paid $42,000 for the vehicle that he purchased from Gearhart Chevrolet in Denville, NJ.
The Chevrolet Volt that Kaffee took over was one of the first 360 units that shipped out of the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. Other units from this first lot will be delivered to dealerships in New York, Washington D.C., Texas and California.
First unveiled four years ago at the Detroit Auto Show, the Chevrolet Volt has garnered a lot of attention from the automotive circles. General Motors has invested and marketed the Chevy Volt in hopes that the car could provide the much needed jolt for the company that was bailed out by the government just over a year back.
