Chevrolet is already known for having great green vehicles, such as the Chevy Malibu Hybrid, but now they’re planning to revolutionize the auto industry even more by producing the Concept Chevy Volt.
Set to be on the market by the end of 2010, the Concept Chevy Volt is an electric vehicle that runs on a lithium-ion battery, and it can be recharged by power sources such as gas and/or E85 ethanol.
Why the Volt is So Green?
The main reason why the Concept Chevy Volt is a top-grade green vehicle is that it has the ability to use no gas and produce no carbon emissions if driven less than 40 miles a day!
Other green features of the car are:
- Uses a 110-volt household plug to be recharged
- Has an extended power source that recharges the battery pack for long trips
- Can drive up to 640 miles without recharging
With over 200 engineers and 50 designers working on the Concept Chevy Volt alone, you can tell that Chevrolet is serious about making this car meet the highest quality, performance and environmental standards.
Only time will tell if Chevy can get these vehicles on the market in 2 years as promised.
We hope to see these electric cars have a positive impact on the auto industry, and wish Chevrolet the best of luck on their continued dedication to protecting the environment.
