Electric Car Forums

The Volt Concept is the first application of GM’s E-Flex System, in which electricity can be produced from different types of fuel. It is equipped with an electrical motor coupled with a compact 1-liter gasoline engine that can re-charge the battery, increasing range and fuel economy.

The Chevy Volt draws from GM’s previous experience with the EV1 (1996). Compared to it, the Chevrolet Volt addresses the range problem and has room for 4-5 passengers and their luggage.
It can be fully charged by plugging it into a 110-volt outlet for approximately six hours each day. When the lithium-ion battery is fully charged, the Volt can
deliver 40 city miles of pure electric vehicle range.

When the battery is depleted, a 1-liter, three-cylinder turbocharged engine spins at a constant speed to create electricity and replenish the battery, increasing fuel economy and range.
