2011 Chevrolet Volt<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In a recent press conference with the media, Chevrolet Volt engineers said that they were averaging 40 miles on battery power alone<\/a> as promised. General Motors has put together a short video (with some cool Google Maps usage) showing us just how much an individual can do with the Volt without ever using gas.<\/p>\n

Refresher<\/strong>: The 2011 Chevrolet Volt is powered by 16-kWh, \u201cT\u201d-shaped lithium-ion battery that powers the electric drive unit, which allows it to drive 40 miles on battery power alone. According to GM\u2019s preliminary specs, the system puts out 150-hp and a maximum torque of 273 lb-ft, allowing the Volt to go from 0-60 mph in about 9 seconds, hitting a top speed of 100 mph. The battery can be re-charged by plugging into a household outlet and takes less than 3 hours to recharge on 240 volts, and about 8 hours on a standard 120-volt outlet. The Chevrolet Volt also carries a 1.4 4-clyinder engine that allows the five-door, FWD sedan to travel additional miles while averaging a fuel-economy of 50 mpg. A fully charged battery and full tank of gas will allow the Volt to travel 300 miles.<\/p>\n
