A car that can create its own energy? Yes please! Introducing the 2011 Chevrolet Volt; the newest addition to the electric car family that you can plug-in to charge. The Volt can run up to 40 miles per charge and does not stop there! The Volt initially uses its electric energy but can continue on a gas powered electric generator; so don’t worry, the Volt is not dependent on its plug-in charge.
Relieve your dependence on foreign oil and plug-in your car. It’s that easy. The Chevrolet Volt only requires an 8 hour charge with a 120V household outlet – or a 240V outlet – according to Chevrolet.
Inexpensive to run, eco-friendly, with a sleek look… the Volt sounds too good to be true! It must not drive well, right? Wrong. The Volt is very easy to drive: it is very quiet, rides smoothly and offers the essential creature comforts expected in a Chevrolet at a surprisingly affordable price.
At the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, Chevrolet GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz stated that Chevrolet will eventually be introducing a 100% battery run Volt by expanding the current battery and doing away with the gas engine. For now, let’s take a look at Chevrolet’s Volt.
