Chevy Volt?
July 7th, 2010 | by Rarzi |Do you think Chevy is really going to go into production for this concept car?
For those of you that don’t know about it, it is called a “plug-in hybrid”. Plugging it in is optional. By plugging it in the wall socket at night, it recharges the batteries. This results in the first 40 miles being used entirely by batteries, meaning if your morning commute is less than 20 miles each way, you would never use a drop of gasoline. After 40 miles, the gasoline motor takes over propeling the car and recharging the batteries at the same time. In a 60 mile trip, you will probably average 150 mpg. If you do not choose to plug in the car, it has a range of about 640 miles on it’s 12 gallon tank. 0 to 60 in 8 seconds, 160 hp, 236 lbs torque, top speed of 120 mph.

i hope someone builds a car like this but at the present time, GM does not have the technology to build this car, for a price they want .

they will build it down the road as the batteries are too expensive right now to be able to sell the car, when they figure out how to make a cheaper system that they can make profit on and still sell it for a reasonable price it will be done.
