The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in series hybrid vehicle to be produced by General Motors, expected to be launched as a 2011 model with production currently slated to begin in 2010. The Volt's propulsion system will be based on GM's new E-Flex platform.
Unlike current commercially available hybrids, the actual propulsion of the Volt is accomplished by the electric motor, as the internal combustion engine (ICE) is not mechanically connected to the wheels. With fully charged batteries, this electric power may be sourced exclusively from its onboard lithium-ion batteries, for up to 40 miles (64 km), a distance capable of satisfying the daily commute of 75% of Americans, which averages around 33 miles (53 km).
After 40 miles (64 km), the range of the Volt will need to be extended through the use of a small 4-cylinder ICE which drives a 53 kW generator. The electrical power from the generator is then sent to either the electric motor or the batteries, depending on the state of charge (SOC) of the battery pack and the power demanded at the wheels. The distribution is controlled by the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. This effectively extends the Volt's potential range to as much as 640 miles (1,030 km) on a single tank of fuel (which could be potentially extended for longer trips through conventional refueling).
The Volt's 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack can also be fully charged (technically ~85% SOC) by plugging the car into a 120-240VAC residential electrical outlet using the provided SAE J1772 compliant charging cord. No external charging station will be required.

Volt is a plug in electric hybrid vehicle.
I'm getting over 60 miles of electric mileage before the engine takes over giving me up to 42 miles per gallon.

They've been in service since July 2011, by Traffic Enforcement Agents. The jury is still out whether agencies across the country are following suit in utilizing plug-in police cars.

If every Silverado owner had their way, you'd have one for flash, to drive around town, and one for fun, that's OK to get dirty.
And of course, the only thing you'd want to haul one Chevy truck, is another Chevy truck.

Not the best photo, but this is a recurring problem I have with the Sigma 18-35mm is its low aperture & ability to focus.
Figured on 26 October 2018, I'd post a "Flashback Friday" of the 2018 Vancouver Intl Auto Show from March as they just started to update their website for 2019: vancouverinternationalautoshow.com/ . More photos up at flic.kr/s/aHsmi1jCSa !

NYPD started utilizing these plugin hybrids in 2012. For the first 53 miles, the Volt runs off the battery, after that, the gas powered engine takes over.

There is a story behind me picking up this book, but I don't know if I really want to get into it now and here. Suffice to write that it revolved around a conversation involving comments made by two presidential candidates, "plug-in" cars (like the Chevy Volt or the next-gen Toyota Prius 2.0) and nuclear power. (Depending on where you live) your plug-in GMota or Takuro Spirit (if you could afford it) would essentially be coal and/or nuclear-powered. Unless you had a wind-farm in your back yard or solar power arrays on your rofftop. (If you had a backyard and/or rooftop.) Wouldn't that be one really long (and expensive) cable (if you parked on the street)?
Maybe like a really big Gerbil Wheel with a lot of gerbils running around it 24/7? Gerbil Power!
(Did I use enough parenthesis here?)
Going for a nice portrait of the MABC Chevrolet Volt at the 2018 Vancouver International Auto Show. Rather like what I did with the Sigma 18-35mm and by getting on a knee here.

This is a level two charger that I use to charge my Chevy Volt. My husband, Jim Fowler, built the enclosure. Our Airbnb guests will be able to charge their plug-in cars as one of the perks of staying at our Pisgah Getaway cabin.
I went to deposit my check at the bank yesterday and the first thing I noticed outside the bank was a Chevy Volt crashed into a tree. "Hmm, that has nothing to with the bank." I thought it was stolen but found out a lady driver had a mishap.

The Volt differs to other plug-in hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius, in that the engine never drives the wheels. Its sole purpose is to charge the 16KW/h lithium battery pack.
Running on petrol, albeit only briefly, revealed some vibration through the steering that isn't present when running on electricity. It also revealed the Volt's engine is much smoother than that of the Prius.

Inside, the Volt is pretty roomy. The wrap-around dash creates a feeling of space and there is plenty of leg and head room in the front. While the glove box is small and shallow there is also a centre console and uncovered storage compartments. There are some cheap plastics in the cabin, but overall it's a nice place to be.

Really like what MABC did with the Chevrolet Volt. Also how the picture came out by using flash on my camera.

The 2011 Chevrolet Volt's 16 kWh battery can be recharged using a 120V or 240V outlet. The car's lithium-ion battery is based on technology developed at Argonne National Laboratory.

There are three modes of automated driving available - Normal, Sport and Mountain. It changes the settings to sustain a sufficient state of charge so if supplemental power is needed it can be available from the battery.

The Chevrolet Volt is General Motors' first mass-produced plug-in petrol/electric hybrid and is due to hit Australian roads in 2012. And while pricing hasn't been announced, the Volt won't be cheap; expect it to be around $60,000 (plus ORC).
