2011 Chevy Volt
A fter years of anticipation, GM has announced that the Volt will be fully charged by fall of next year. The Volt, according to the company, is designed to move more than 75 percent of America's daily commuters without a single drop of gas. And GM just announced the Volt should be good for 230 miles per gallon. Not too shabby - even if it's remotely close to that figure.
The little four-seater uses a lithium-ion battery with a range-extending gas engine that drives a generator to provide electric power when you drive beyond the 40-mile battery range. Although there’s a lot of discussion about the Volt’s driving range, time will tell if this plug-in, which is expected to be charged overnight, drives consumers to kick their gas habit and become electrified.
