Chevy Volt- Zero Gasoline

Drill here, drill now! The Republican drum beat is increasing with the addition of Sarah Palin to the ticket. She knows oil and in fact as the Republicans say, she can spell ENERGY! So can most seven year olds. The case for the electric car is becoming more and more of an election issue. So while Republicans say drill for mroe oil, Democrats are saying put more air in the tires. But, let’s look at one of the alternatives in electric cars.
The VOLT has been talked about coming to market in 2010; however, recent pictures of one coming out from under a tarp and doing a test run has people talking.
Chevy has devoted alot of time, research, and money to this project. Over 200 engineers and 50 designers are working on the Volt alone, and another 400 are working on related subsystems and electric components. That’s how important it is, and that’s how much stock they place in the future of extended-range electric vehicles like the Chevy Volt.
The extended-range electric vehicle is no longer just a rumor. Tremendous pressure has been put on design and engineering resources to make the vehicle a reality. The Concept Chevy Volt, with its revolutionary E-Flex Propulsion System, will be different than any previous electric vehicle because it will use a lithium-ion battery with a variety of range-extending onboard power sources, including gas and, in some vehicles, E85 ethanol to recharge the battery while driving.
When it comes to plugging in, the Volt will be designed to use a common 110–volt household plug. For someone who drives less than 40 miles a day, Chevy Volt will use zero gasoline and produce zero emissions. For longer trips, Chevy Volt’s range-extending power source kicks in to recharge the lithium-ion battery pack as required.
Can I order one tomorrow?
