  • Regen braking...is this also accomplished when coasting/decelerating? And if you let the car idle, will it charge the battery?

  • From the clip: "Electricity drives the wheels at all times and speeds... the Volt is powered only by electricity." While this is technically correct, GM now admits that sometimes the ICE "contributes torque" which can only be done through a mechanical coupling. the ICE *is* connected to the wheels. That makes it an evolutionary step in hybrid technology, not a revolutionary one.

  • I really dislike how GM was/is saying this is an "electric" car...It isnt, it still has a petrol motor to aid in producing power.

  • Very nice animation of how the Volt works. It's hard to sometimes get people to understand this technology, but once you do, you realize it's the most advanced method of reducing our dependency on oil while still giving drivers the freedom that they have been accustomed to in a gas-powered car.

    I truly hope the conditions are right in late 2010 for the Volt to be a huge hit. It's an awesome car.

  • Well done. I can't wait to get one. Please deliver, chevy, please deliver.
