With the second-generation Chevy Volt in full production, the plug-in hybrid from General Motors has overtaken the Nissan LEAF to claim the mantle of best-selling affordable plug-in in the United States. In March, Volt sales grew by nearly 200 percent over last year, propelling the Volt past the LEAF in cumulative sales since the two cars launched in late 2010.
Sales of both vehicles slumped relative to the overall market in recent years—due largely to falling gas prices and the aging of first-generation editions of the plug-ins.
In October, Chevy began selling the second-generation Volt. While the first-generation Volt captured the hearts of early adopters of plug-in technology, the new Volt—which sports more traditional exterior styling and a simplified dashboard—is geared toward a broader market of customers. Most importantly, the 2016 Volt now boasts a range of 53 miles, an improvement of 15 miles over the 2015 model.
