Car Profile - (Concept) Chevrolet Volt

The Chevy Volt is a concept car. General Motors announced it in January 2007 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. If built, which hopefully it will be, it will have standard safety features such as airbags and stability control. One thing unique to it is that it can run on pure electricity. Here are some specs:

• The lithium-ion battery can be recharged in a standard 110 volt outlet.
  
• The battery can go 40 miles on sole electricity
• With the range extender, you can use gasoline, E85, or biodiesel to recharge the battery as needed giving you a 150 m.p.g. equivalent
• For long trips, you will be able to get a 50 m.p.g equivalent
