2011Chevrolet Volt

VOLT IS A STAR. FIVE OF THEM, ACTUALLY.

It's More than Just A Car The 2011 Chevrolet Volt. Powered by electricity without being tethered to electrical outlets. It drives gas- and emissions-free for most commutes(6). But if life takes you a little further, as it tends to do sometimes, the gas-powered onboard generator can take you wherever you need to go, giving you up to 375 miles(9) of total range. So you can just sit back and drive. Isn't that what cars are for?
	More power from a superior 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 warranty(3). Here are a few more notes on the battery: Just plug it in to charge the battery, and most people can commute gas- and tailpipe emissions-free for about $1.50 per day(6). A small, quiet on-board gas generator creates electricity that powers your Volt as you drive for up to 375 miles(9) on battery and gas power Lithium-ion cells outperform nickel metal hydride cells (found in today's hybrids) 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 electric for an average of $1.50 a day(6) 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
	There's Nothing Like Changing Everything The year of the Volt continues. Green Car Journal has just named the all-new Chevrolet Volt its 2011 Green Car of the Year, the first electric car to ever win the award. The premier magazine on high fuel efficiency and alternative fuel vehicles says, ï¿½This has been a long time coming,ï¿½ noting that early electric cars showed promise, but lacked practicality. The Volt runs on electricity for an initial range of 35 miles on a single charge, before a gas generator seamlessly creates electricity for up to 340 additional miles on a full tank of gas.* Practical indeed. *EPA estimates. Actual range varies with conditions.
The dashboard re-imagined 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. Some features include: Real-time information on energy usage and power-flow, and it even displays efficiency tips Screens allow to program the charging schedule based on electricity rate plans Standard navigation(14) with voice recognition, infotainment and a climate control system
	Volt Mobile App Starting this fall, anywhere you get a signal on your smartphone, you can have total control of your Volt. Tap away and, with the OnStar MyLink™(13), 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.
