- As Chevy Bolt EV sales have increased, sales of the gas-electric hybrid Volt have declined.
- The Volt was never as successful as GM hoped, but it paved the way for the Bolt.
- We could be at the beginning of the end of the hybrid era.
Talk to anybody at General Motors about the Chevy Volt hybrid and they'll tell you that the company learned a lot from the car.
In fact, the automaker may have learned so much that the Volt could have contributed to its own demise.
GM hasn't made any announcements to that effect, but WardsAuto's James M. Amend reported that ever since the all-electric Chevy Bolt arrived late last year, Volt sales have slipped.
