Volt Leaf

Now that the electric US auto market has received the first two models, consumers were believed to rush to the nearest Chevrolet or Nissan dealership and order

an electric car. December sales prove otherwise however, as it seems that interest in electric vehicles produced by General Motors and Nissan remains low.

According to The Detroit News, General Motors sold between 250 and 350 Chevrolet Volts in December, while the Japanese rival and its Leaf recorded sales of... 10 units

Embarrassing or not, waiting lists are more than full, with several thousands of buyers waiting for their electric vehicle to be rolled off the assembly lines.

In the United States, Chevrolet Volt has a starting price of $41,000, or $33,500 net of full federal income tax credit.
