Well, the article talks about Volt's headliner and air conditioner parts supply deal. Only the headliner deal quotes specific number, 500K units over 5 years. The info is reliable as they are posted at Korean stock market.

So is GM going to ramp up Volt production?

LG : Cells for 300K battery packs and controller over 6 years.
LS : 500K headliners over 5 years.

The number went up for Volt supply deals signed at later dates.

Not sure

Hopefully the reason for the different numbers is, the 1st gen volt will be around 300,000 units. The second gen volt may use a different battery but the platform (headliner) will be the same between the cars.
