# All-Electric Production Cars The Chevy Volt Comes to Life By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-09-21 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chevy-volt-first-video-gms-future-electric-car-hits-the-road References: [canada](http://www.canada.com/windsorstar/news/story.html?id=aeb1347c-a392-4a13-a9d5-cbf4b0ba5c9f) & [chevrolet](http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/) The folks at GM have rolled out a production vehicle of the Chevy Volt. It’s a gutsy move for GM, considering that the Chevy Volt won’t be mass-produced for two years. GM is putting a good portion of their reputation on the line to deliver the Chevy Volt all-electric car exactly as promised. As many as six plug-in hybrid electric vehicles from GM, [Toyota](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-bev-sports), [Nissan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-ev), and possibly [Chrysler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chrysler-airflow-ev-concept) are expected to be available for consumer purchase by early 2011. The Chevy Volt is the first car from these manufacturers to have a publicly announced production date, however. If GM doesn’t roll out the Chevy Volt as promised, the company’s financial future is in serious doubt. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Electric Vehicle Revolution:** The success and public interest in the Chevy Volt signals a growing demand for all-electric cars, creating an opportunity for companies to invest in the development and production of electric vehicles. - **Plug-in Hybrid Technology:** As multiple manufacturers plan to release plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, the industry has the potential to disrupt the traditional automotive market by offering more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly options to consumers. - **Production Date Dictation:** The announcement of a publicly confirmed production date for the Chevy Volt sets a new standard for transparency in the automotive industry, encouraging other manufacturers to provide clear timelines for their upcoming vehicles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The development and production of all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the automotive industry to embrace sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions. - **Energy:** The shift towards electric vehicles creates an opportunity for the energy industry to invest in charging infrastructure and renewable energy sources to support the growing demand for clean transportation options. - **Technology:** The integration of advanced technology, such as battery management systems and electric drivetrain components, in the development of electric vehicles brings disruptive innovation opportunities for technology companies to shape the future of transportation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Affordable Sleek Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equinox-ev.md) - [Full-Size Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chevrolet-blazer.md) - [EV Advertising Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chevrolet-bolt-campaign.md) - [Electric Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/california-corvette.md) - [Special Edition Electric Suvs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-lyriq.md) - [Electric Vehicle Production Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-ev.md) - [Four-Door Performance Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-5.md) - [Electric Hybrid Vibrant Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corvette-eray-hybrid.md) - [Long-Range All-Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prologue.md)
