Concept Chevy Volt – 2010
There are mixed messages coming from GM about the timing of when the Chevy Volt will hit the market. But 2010 looks likely. If you watched the movie Who Killed The Electric Car you’ve heard the theory that GM and the oil companies conspired to kill EV1. We’re not going to debate that either way but if GM delivers the Volt they might just make up for any bad blood those rumors and theories might have created.
From the press material the Volt sounds like the perfect transition vehicles, from the all fossil fuel world we live into today to the all electric zero emissions vehicles of the future. In a nutshell it’s a plug in hybrid with the ability to run full electric for about 40 miles and then rely on either a small generator or small engine to extend its range up to 640 miles. GM is also thinking of using E85 or biodiesel as fuels for the on-board combustion engines.
We can’t wait to see the car on the road. This would mark a significant step i the right direction for all auto manufacturers. Comments?
