GM Offers to Buy Back Chevy Volts
General Motors will buy Chevrolet Volts back from any owner afraid the electric cars will catch fire, CEO Dan Akerson said Thursday. Fires have broken out in Volts after side-impact crash-tests performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Around 6,000 Volts are currently on the road. “I think in the interest of General Motors, the industry, the electrification of the car, it’s best to get it right now than when you have — instead of 6,000 — 60,000 or 600,000 cars on the road,” Akerson said.
