Seventy percent of the 20,828 Volts sold in 2012 came from the 300 highest-volume dealerships. Out of 3,079 Chevy dealerships, 2,614 were certified to sell the Volt. Malcho said dealers who have opted out of selling the Volt due to the cost of tools account for less than one percent of the car’s sales. GM spokeswoman Michelle Malcho told Automotive News that requiring dealers to buy specialized tools is standard procedure, and that dealers also spent between $1,800 and $2,800 on tools for the Volt last year. Some dealers believe GM is trying to eliminate small-volume Volt dealers, so it can create a smaller dealer network centered on urban areas where plug-in hybrids are more popular. Barnard has sold five Volts in the past two years, and he says that allowed him to break even on the nearly $5,000 he spent when the car was launched. Automotive News talked to Allyn Barnard, owner of Jim Barnard Chevrolet in Churchville, New York. However, since the Volt is a low-volume product, the numbers just don’t add up for certain dealers.
