Yes, there is a hitch for your 2018 Chevy Volt that will allow you to mount a wheel chair carrier to it. It is the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 306-X7338. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Chevy with included hardware.

I really like the Ecohitch because it mounts behind your rear bumper cover and the receiver is hidden by your license plate when not in use. You will never know the hitch is there when you are not using an accessory or towing.

This hitch has a 2" receiver which will give you plenty of options for carriers and lifts. It has a 300 lbs tongue weight capacity and a 2,000 lbs towing capacity.

I have linked a couple of pictures below along with an installation video that will show you what this hitch looks like installed.

If you ever plan on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 118726 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

In my experiance Bob, I find the Tekonsha #118726 is more durable over the Curt #C56315 for your 2016 Chevrolet Volt. Tekonsha wiring tends to have less issues with the converter portion going out down the road.
