This is pretty typical for discontinued cars. I remember reading a report that showed some discontinued cars still selling as new cars 7 years after the models were discontinued. With the discounting going on for the Bolt and new Leaf to spur on sales it will be harder to make new sales for the Volt's in inventory. GM had poor marketing and sales support for the Volt when it was a sales success (in it's market), so now when the only news about the Volt is that it is discontinued, it will be far harder to sell the last of them off at full price. Especially with the diminished subsidies. Plus in California they killed off the green and white sticker access to the HOV (commuter) lanes, which is why I sold my Volt. So older Volts will be heavily discounted on the used market, and selling new ones at twice the price cannot compete. I think that it would be even worse selling the remaining new models of the last generation (low mileage range) BEVs like the last gen Leaf, i3, EV Golf, EV Soul, etc..who simply cannot compete against newer long range EV models without heavy discounting.
