Jeff D'Ambrosio Chevrolet in Oxford is not afraid to display new tech to their employees, their customers, or anyone interested in checking out a new Chevrolet electric vehicle like Chevrolet Volt.

It's a strategy that pays off, as one franchise in Michigan sells 25 electric cars every month with such practices. Chevy Volt sold 2289 units in March 2012; so far this is its best month.

Funny enough, most Volt cars are leased, not purchased outright. Based on the EV's $41,000 MSRP, a driver can lease the electric car, with help from subsidizing and $7500 off the price of a green car, for about $300 a month.

Selling EV is an uphill battle, one GM is tackling: "Just last week, for instance, the consensus of auto-industry executives at the Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress in Detroit was that such vehicles are likely to remain confined to a niche of under 10 percent of the U.S. market through 2025 and beyond," said Forbes.com, about the future of electric vehicles.¹

Alan Batey of Chevrolet said a handful of dealers around the country, "have really gotten after it and created some momentum" around Volt sales.²

The best way to get over any apprehension of driving an electric car like Volt is to come and take it for a test drive at Jeff D'Ambrosio Chevrolet in Oxford.
