The Chevrolet Volt window sticker — build, options & years
The Chevrolet Volt ran from 2011–2026 across 2 generations (2011–2015, 2016–2020). Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, including its electric range and MPGe rating.
Which year's sticker do I need? Any Chevrolet Volt VIN works — ForCar reads the exact model year automatically. On owner data the cleanest years are 2020, 2021, 2022; the most-complained-about are 2017, 2013, 2012. For year-by-year recalls, MPG and safety, see the full Chevrolet Volt VIN decoder.
What the Chevrolet Volt sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Volt, latest tested year 2019:
The label also prints an estimated $1,500 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 69 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Volt under Compact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Volt's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2011 to 2019. Worth checking before you compare a Volt sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 5 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
Safety ratings printed on the label
The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the Volt sticker carries as of its 2019 rating:
Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.
What a used Volt sells for now
The label froze the Volt price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the Volt by model year, from 123 live US listings:
| Model year | Median asking price | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 38 listings | |
| 2015 | 17 listings | |
| 2014 | 23 listings | |
| 2013 | 28 listings | |
| 2012 | 17 listings |
A 2017 Volt asks a median $8,400 today, a 2012 about $5,500. Full breakdown on the Chevrolet Volt value page.

Where to find the VIN on a Chevrolet Volt
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Volt, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Chevrolet Volt all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Chevrolet Volt whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
