New Electric Vehicle from Chevrolet - Chevy Volt

To 2010 will be made 60,000 Chevrolet Volt Electric Cars, according to the words of General Motors czar Bob Lutz. The perspective itself is very intriguing, but, the realization of it is a tricky question. In order to produce such cars, there must be made a new battery technology (it doesn’t exist yet) and some other important details, and namely these details will be able to determine the year and time of these cars appearance on the market.

These cars are going to hit the world and be on the top of sales! Why? There are a lot of reasons for them to be so popular. First of all, they’ll be capable of running on 4 different materials: E85, biodiesel, gasoline fuels and electricity. To fulfill this Chevrolet is going to use GM’s new E-Flex Propulsion System.

In addition to ecologically free driving (that will help to reduce the emissions of gases) and fashionable look, this car can offer a rather quick acceleration, can take cargos and 5 passengers, has air bags for driver and passengers. Chevrolet EV can run up to 40 miles (with its first charge) and the car will be recharged without any problems, while motion.

Manufacturers are optimistic about both car “birth” and its rate of popularity, but we shall see what we shall see!

It's so true. The CVT (continuously variable transmission) operates smoothly with no jerking and having more speeds these days (6 as opposed to 3-5) means better gas mileage, too.
