SUMMARY
In 2010, facing pressure from the Nissan Leaf, we launched the Chevy Volt. It was an 'extended range' electric vehicle in a gasoline world. We didn't launch a 'green' car -- we launched a great car (that just happened to be electric).Thinking about Chevy shifted -- from old-fashioned to innovative, gas-guzzler to fuel-efficient with a much needed lift to brand opinion and consideration.In 3 months, the Volt was established as a different kind of car and Chevy was re-established as a different kind of car company.
