And does Chevy have any plans of actually putting a full electric car on the market any time soon?

@sleepy: how green electric cars are depends on when the charging is done. Besides, this is more about brand confidence than anything. Lately, I can only trust myself with a Toyota/Honda.
@LeAnne: what do you mean the program has been scuttled? Part of the reason why I am asking about the Volt is that I would like to learn more about the vehicle.

Why does GM think this is going to save them! The Camaro might, but this is not for sure!
Mail this post Let’s specifically look at the new Chevy Volt.
230 MPG
40 Mile range before the battery runs out and it runs on gasoline. It needs to be recharged before it can go again.
How much electric expense from your house will it take to charge the battery, and is that coming from coal plants?
A projected cost of ,000
What other pros and cons can you see?
Mail this post 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.
