It´s more car than electric

The 2011 Chevrolet Volt. Powered by electricity without being tethered toelectrical outlets. It drives gas- and emissions-free fort most commutes (6). But if life takes you a little further, as it tends to do sometimes, the gas poweredonboard generator can take you wherever you need to go, giving you up to 375miles ( 9 ) of total range. So you can just sit back and drive. Isn´t that what cars

are for ?

More power from a superior batterythe Volt battery has gone through numerous environment-specific tes, including corrosion and hot- and cold-weathertesting and the results were so promising that the 16 Kwhlithium-ion battery pack is backed by an 100,000mile/8-year warranty ( 3 ).

Here Are a few more notes on the battery:

• Just plug it in to charge the battery, and most peoplecan commute gas - and tailpipe emissions - free for about$1.50 per day ( 6 ).

• A small, quiet on-board gas generator creates electricitythat powers your Volt as you drive for up to 375miles ( 9 ) 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 thebattery at a comfortable temperature as it´s beingcharged and discharged

All New 2011 Chevrolet Volt

It?s more car than electric. Quite simply there is

nothing like Volt. Volt combines the convenience

capabilities of a traditional vehicle. But all that

doesn?t matter if you don?t love being in it. So

we designed an interior that surrounds you with

innovation, like LCD screen gauges, touchscreen

navigation

and radio technology. It totally

reimagines how you interact with your dashboard.

There´s nothing like changing everything.

The year of the Volt continues. Green Car Journal has just named the all-newChevrolet Volt its 2011 Green Car of the year, the firts electric car to ever winthe award, the premier magazine on high fuel efficiency and alternative fuelvehicles says, “this has been a long time coming,” noting that early electric cars

showed promise, but lacked practicality. The Volt runs on electricity for an initialrange of 35 miles on a single charge, before a gas generator seamlessly createselectricity for up to 340 additional miles on a full tank of gas, *Practical indeed.

*EPA estimates. Actual range varies with conditions.

• Mostly produced domestically and is an inexpensivesource of power

• Cleaner to use than gasoline• Utilities have the capacity to power millions of Voltvehicles without overtaxing the infrastructure

• Electricity is produced by many different sourcesincluding renewable wind, solar, geothermal andhydropower.

• We´re working with utility companies to make sure thateveryone has inexpensive and reliable access tocharging
