The 2011 Chevrolet Volt was only available in seven states and cost over $40,000. The 2012 Volt though is available in all 50 states, starting at $39,995.

So it’s about a grand cheaper than the previous model and that’s before tax. So it is in fact $32,496 assuming a full federal tax credit of $7,500, which is subject to the customer’s eligibility. The price includes an $850 destination freight charge but excludes tax, title and license fees.

Chevrolet has started taking orders for the 2011 Volt now offering a wider range of options and configurations that come with the expansion of Volt production for sale nationally. For 2012, consumers will be able to choose from a total of seven option packages compared with only three for the 2011 model. When you done speccing the Volt up, a loaded model with leather appointments, backup camera, navigation system and premium paint and wheels will cost up to $46,265.
