150 M.P.G. Chevrolet Volt concept car (2007)

This video shows the Chevrolet Volt concept car in January 2007 at the Detroit Auto Show. The Volt is an advanced plug-in hybrid electric car from General Motors of Michigan with a 360 mile range, a lithium-ion battery, and requires the use of premium fuel for its onboard gas-hybrid engine. Since the concept was shown in Detroit in 2007 the Volt's design has changed to help improve aerodynamics. In June 2008 the Board of Directors of General Motors approved production of the Chevy Volt for introduction in November 2010. Chevy Volt video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ButSnj0sY_s

hahhaaha 150 mpg

get a life

only air power engine can do that

The 150 MPG was in 2007.  See a new video of the 2010 Volt on YouTube. The Volt runs entirely on electric power for 70 KM at highway speed and uses no gasoline. In the U.S. research shows average drivers travel only 70 KM every day. The Volt gasoline engine is on only when the battery is low after 40 miles, and with gasoline the Volt gets about 50 MPG. The Volts 42 liter gas tank may not be used at all by a city driver for a month. That is how GM made the 150 MPG estimate in 2007.

GM's Board of Directors approved production funding for the Chevy Volt the week of June 4, 2008. Will this become the 21st century version of the EV-1 disaster? Only time will tell. Other companies such as Nissan, Mitsubishi (Imiev), Aptera, Tesla, AFS Trinity, Phoenix Motors, and Ford have all announced hybrid or all-electric cars by 2010.

GM is making incredible progress with the Volt. In April 2008 the engineering teams are in overdrive. The revolutionary battery packs are in test vehicles and the Volt body design is nearly finalized. The four passenger Volt may look a little different from the concept vehicle, but will have many incredible new design features. 2010 arrival appears to be on track and possible.

GM just needs to get the car on the show rooms and quit dragging their feet. They already did in the EV1.

Watch the documentary 'Who killed the electric car'. The battery technology to give a car 300 mile range has been around for a decade at least. The only thing keeping us in the dark ages of internal combustion engines is ignorance and apathy. And that is created by lies and fear from the oil companies.

This Volt looks way better than that POS they just came up with called the Volt. :\

that car looks bad ass!!!

@2video which is a an advertising gimmick! ofcourse!

Your minds are very limited in capacity.

50MPG? Mister., GM already has a Malibu Hybrid in the dealership down the road. It is available for $32,000 with some extra features. This Malibu I say is in a modest mental-math. 1.8-3.9litre per every 100KM depending demand on electricity. The variation of potential loss between the conservation and transfer of energy, continually after batteries run dry. Gains from lower idols, permit longer electrical distances.

Sorry now 230 MPG

[mark2073]

sorry, you're wrong, electric cars can do that and if you charged them from solar panels on your roof you could get 2000 mpg.

[honestrunescaper]

Yes its going to be on sale for sure in 2010.

Lots of people want this tech- let's go people! I agree there are patents being bought up and the gas company's are like sh**T we can't have these things out! The electric car was invented by Tesla way back when OMG people........
