2011 Chevrolet Volt to start at $41,000 - less $7,500 - net $33,500

The greenest Chevrolet ever will also be one of the more expensive.

The 2011 Volt will carry a starting sticker price of $41,000 when it launches late this year, General Motors said on Tuesday. With a federal tax credit worth up to $7,500, the price drops to $33,500. Destination charges are included.

Orders start today.

Chevy will also offer a lease program, with payments as low as $350 for 36 months; $2,500 would be due at signing. The tax credit is figured into the lease.

The Volt will have an expected range of 340 miles, with 40 miles on pure electricity from the 16-kilowatt lithium-ion battery pack. After that is used up, a gasoline-powered generator kicks in to extend range another 300 miles.

The initial markets will be New York, Michigan, Connecticut, Texas, New Jersey and Washington, D.C.

The Volt is considered the most significant vehicle from GM in years, vaulting the company into a competitive position in the race to build greener cars as federal fuel-economy regulations tighten.

The Volt also gets an eight-year, 100,000-mile battery-pack warranty and a mobile app from OnStar. The car comes standard with a 120-volt charge cord.
