Chevrolet Volt is a Game Changer!

Exterior

The Volt is an electric vehicle that goes further. It is powered primarily by electric charge and switches seamlessly to a gas-powered onboard generator for extended range.

Thoughtful efficiency

By its very nature, Volt is engineered to change the face of transportation as we know it. Nearly every component of Volt has been selected to get the most out of every charge, including:

Aerodynamics that maximize the distance per charge and miles per gallon of fuel
A closed grille and aerodynamic back edges that contribute to its fuel efficiency(3)
Energy-efficient Bose® Sound System
Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires

Interior

The dashboard reimagined

Volt has two LCD screens that display speed, battery power, range to recharge or re-fill as well as an efficiency gauge that gives you real-time feedback. On the center console you'll find a seven-inch diagonal high-resolution screen with touch-sensitive control that helps you get the most out of your Volt.

Performance

Power from an exceptional battery

The Volt battery has gone through numerous environment-specific tests, including corrosion and hot- and cold-weather testing and the results were so promising that the 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack is backed by an 100,000-mile/8-year limited warranty(4).
Here are a few more notes on the battery:

Volt offers an EPA-estimated 35 miles of initial EV range offering a gas-free and tailpipe emissions-free commute for about $1.50 of electricity per day
When the battery is depleted, a small, quiet onboard gas generator creates electricity that powers your Volt as you drive for hundreds of additional miles
Lithium-ion cells outperform nickel-metal hydride cells (found in today's hybrid vehicles) in terms of life cycle
A liquid thermal cooling and heating system keeps the battery at a comfortable temperature as it's being charged and discharged

Here are a few more advantages

Commute gas-free on electricity(3) for an average of $1.50 a day
Can be set to charge during off-peak hours for greater savings
Your Volt will be fully charged in about 10 hours, depending on climate, with standard 120-volt line, or as little as 4 hours using a dedicated 240-volt line
Some Volt owners may qualify for tax rebates on an SPX Service Solutions - installed charging unit

Innovation everywhere

Volt offers the performance and forward-thinking you've come to expect from Chevrolet. Take a look:

Instant, smooth and seamless torque right at the wheels
Regenerative braking captures the energy from forward motion that would otherwise be lost when the car slows or stops and then converts it into electricity, helping make Volt even more efficient to drive
On the test track, Volt reached a top speed of 100 mph
Free of the typical noise of the internal combustion engine, Volt offers a quiet, relaxing ride at any speed

Safety

Making the future safer

Volt drivers and passengers will be wrapped in a cocoon of standard safety. With eight air bags(5) ready to deploy in an emergency, it's obvious safety is of the highest priority. Joining this built-in safety is an unprecedented five-year subscription to OnStar®(6) Directions and Connections® including Automatic Crash Response. In the event of a collision, built-in sensors can automatically alert an OnStar Advisor, who is immediately connected into your vehicle to see if you need help sent to your exact location - even if you can't respond.

Technology

Pick your mode

The Volt has been programmed with three unique driving modes to accommodate different driving styles. Normal mode is the most efficient setting that takes the electricity and focuses it on operating the electric drive. Sport mode sacrifices a small amount of efficiency for more responsive acceleration, and Mountain mode makes sure the battery has a bigger energy reserve for driving up long, steep inclines.

Volt mobile app

Anywhere you get a signal on your smartphone, you can have control of your Volt. Tap away and, with the OnStar RemoteLink®(7) mobile app, you'll be able to check the battery charge level, available range, tire pressure, remote lock and unlock, and even activate the remote start to heat or cool the interior to your preferred temperature. Navigate the interactive screens of the app, and you can change how and when you want your Volt to charge. You can even set up alerts via text or email to remind you to plug in your Volt, when charging is complete or if charging has been interrupted. The app also provides a single button to access a Volt Customer Advisor who can answer vehicle-specific questions.

Electricity - a more sensible primary fuel

Put simply, electricity is a cleaner source of power. Advancements in electricity production, along with reduction in tailpipe emissions from electric-powered driving, could help make our world a better place.
