Just a Matter of VOLT-age



Is it possible that we will have an American car company take a leading role in breaking out the electric car/mostly electric car to the masses?




And that company will be CHEVROLET?




Just my thought. This could be a terrific thing for Chevy. I like what I see in the CHEVY VOLT.




This car is "sweet". Real possibilities for the future if this car is a winner.




All propulsion is accomplished by the electric engine which, in turn, is powered by the lithium ion batteries. The batteries are charged by plugging them into the wall. For the first forty or so miles of driving, the batteries have enough power to move the car from zero to sixty in 8 seconds and hit a top speed of 120 mph.
Then, after all that aerodynamic, electric, regenerative-brake-using driving, an ultra-efficient, small, inexpensive gasoline engine kicks on and recharges the battery. Using only power generated by the gas generator, the car gets about 60 mpg.
If they sell this car around $20k to $30k I think they will have a home run on their hands.
