All about the Chevrolet Volt

Chevrolet Volt



Say hello to the Volt!  Chevrolet's new electric vehicle that can use gas, ONLY IF YOU NEED TO!

INTERIOR OF THE 2011 VOLT:

Volt has two LCD screens that display speed, battery power, range to recharge or re-fill as well as an efficiency gauge that gives you real-time feedback. On the center console you'll find a seven-inch diagonal high-resolution screen with touch-sensitive control that helps you get the most out of your Volt.

More power from a superior battery
The Volt battery has gone through numerous environment-specific tests, including corrosion and hot- and cold-weather testing and the results were so Chevy is promising that the battery is backed by an 100,000 mile/8-year warranty.

Here are a few more notes on the battery:
  • Just plug it in to charge the battery, and most people can commute gas-free and tailpipe emissions-free for about $1.50 of electricity per day.
  • A small, quiet on-board gas generator creates electricity that powers your Volt as you drive for hundreds of miles on battery and gas power.
  • Lithium-ion cells outperform nickel metal hydride cells (found in today's hybrids) in terms of life cycle
  • A liquid thermal cooling and heating system keeps the battery at a comfortable temperature as it's being charged and discharged


Here are a few more advantages
  • Commute gas-free on electric for an average of $1.50 a day
  • Can be set to charge during off-peak hours for greater savings
  • Your Volt will be fully charged in about 10 hours, depending on climate, with standard 120-volt line, or as little as 4 hours using a dedicated 240-volt line
