Chevrolet has announced the 2011 Volt for the UK market and is priced at just £ 28,545. A car in the 30 to 50 mile range can only run on electricity and can hit an impressive 127 mpg, which translates to 1.85 liters per 100 kilometers..
The Chevy Volt has received a lot of criticism for its ridiculous announcement about GM. First, they claimed that the car would only go with 1 liter per 100 kilometers (230mpg) and after that, the Volt was called EV (electric vehicle), but it is actually a hybrid, with a gasoline engine that turns on to help with acceleration.
The 2011 Chevrolet Volt is powered by an electric motor with a maximum power of 150 hp. (111 kW) and 368Nm (273 lb-ft) of torque. The car has a 16 kWh (10.4 kW usable) lithium-ion battery pack and, when depleted, a small supercharged 1.4 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 80 hp. rotates a 55 kW generator to charge the batteries.
However, the Volt is expected to be a huge success due to its efficiency and performance..
