  • INHABITAT EXCLUSIVE: Chevy Volt Representatives Respond to Bad Press
    There is a buzz in the air this week about the Chevy Volt thanks to an announcement by General Motors on Friday that they'll be shutting down production of the Volt at the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant for five weeks. While the news media geared up to make this announcementlook like the end for this highly-publicized plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, we bet that this decision to equalize supply with demand is just a Volt growing pain. So, we went straight to the horse's mouth and asked Rob Peterson of Chevy Volt Communications about the Volt team's take on this whole situation. It seems the feeling inside the company is decidedly positive -- something you might not envision if you just listened to Google News and your television. Peterson started off the interview by telling assuring us what we already though was true, "this is just an opportunity to adjust our inventory levels, it is just temporary," and then let us in on some insights from the Chevy crew.
