The Chevy Volt

Hybrid cars use a combination of electric and gasoline engine power to get you where you're going. The Chevy Volt uses only electricity. The companion gasoline engine is to dynamically recharge the lithium-ion batteries as the vehicle is in use.

The Chevy Volt is the most Fuel Efficient Hybrid Electric Vehicle in the Market.

I especially liked the MotorTrend article on the Chevy Volt...their article included the following paragraph: "Once the Volt’s battery is depleted, the engine fires up and clutches to the generator to produce the power required to drive the car. Above 70 mph, when the generator couples to the ring gear, the engine gets a more efficient direct mechanical connection to the wheels. "

I want to buy one of these. It's now 2011 and I'm ready to buy :) are these available for purchase yet?

lets say you spend $3 of electricity to recharge it daily, a week u spend 21 bucks so I could just spend 20 at the pump weekly, either way it is a Fail-to-Fail deal.

GM (Government Moter) is a total scam on this Volt, They claimed 230 miles to a gallon at first and 40 miles on a charge...

Don't buy these scam from GM...

Buy a Prius, I did....Its made in the US!

@CI9TK Why would they use what looks like a standard Inernal Combustion engine? The answer is simple: because it is a standard Internal Combustion Engine and it is not a 'pure EV' car at all as Chevrolet claims it is. At speeds above 70 mph or after 20 miles will function as a normal hybrid car like the Prius. Only it does perform quite poorly at 6.9l/100 km (~34 mpg) while a standard hybrid like the Prius will achieve 58 mpg easily.

I like the way it looks but like a bit more fuel efficient.

I C "..kid" B making friends EVERYwhere. In fact, I have a B.S. in Engineering. My point was economic. GM likes the old business model because ICE's need regular maintenance and replacement parts. Hey, ask Exxon.

It's the carbon copied Multinational corporate "plan" and one need only understand growth, who gets stock options and the capital gains vs. wage tax rates. Re-repeat this "plan" and you get a profit pyramid, growth to market saturation and finally wage (and other expense) decreases.
