2012 Chevrolet Volt Gets Revamped for California

Just the Facts:

• The 2012 Chevrolet Volt has been revamped to meet California’s stringent emissions requirements, allowing buyers to qualify for state incentives.
• Volts with the new Low Emissions package will arrive in California in February, GM said.
• The revision allows owners to receive up to $1,500 in state rebates through California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Project.

DETROIT — The 2012 Chevrolet Volt has been revamped to meet California’s stringent emissions requirements, allowing buyers to qualify for state incentives. The revision is a significant one since 93 percent of the California incentives checks for zero-emission vehicles went to owners of the Nissan Leaf last year.

Volts with the new Low Emissions package will arrive in California in February, GM said. It will be standard on all models sold in California.

The revision allows owners to receive up to $1,500 in state rebates through California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Project. The Volt incentive will be among the lowest provided by the project, which has set aside $15 million in funds for fiscal years 2011-’12. It is funded by the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Resources Board.

Owners of the 2011-’12 Nissan Leaf, 2009-’11 Tesla Roadster, 2011 Think City and 2010-’11 Honda FCX Clarity qualify for a $2,500 state rebate under the project. Owners of the 2012 Mitsubishi i and Smart USA ED qualify for a $2,000 state rebate. The Volt is not yet listed as a qualifying vehicle on the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project Web site and missed out on the incentive last year.

The Volt’s engine and exhaust components were modified to meet California’s tough emissions standards, said GM in a statement. Owners of Volts with the Low Emissions package will also be eligible to apply for one of 40,000 available HOV lane stickers.

Inside Line says: The special package is GM’s way of putting the Chevrolet Volt on a more equal footing with the Nissan Leaf in a battleground state.
