I just read the article you linked, and it says the opposite:

"The company also plans to stop building several models now assembled at those plants, including the Chevrolet Cruze, the Cadillac CT6 and the Buick LaCrosse.

GM said it will shift more investment to electric and autonomous vehicles."

That reads like they're investing in the Volt.

This morning seems to be a roller coaster related to the Volt, stories said it was being cut, then people removed references to that, and now they're back to saying it will be cut. This Verge article[1] currently says production will end March 1, 2019 and Jalopnik agrees[2].

Obviously, they say they are focusing on electric. Maybe they are killing off the hybrid to focus on the purely electric. Maybe some new product will be released to replace it. It is far from clear at the moment.
