New Cars ,, Mitsubishi Chevrolet Volt ,,,, Auto Show

The Chevrolet Volt is a mainstream electric car that’s essentially a rebadged version of the Vauxhall Ampera. Based on GM’s Delta platform, which also underpins Chevrolet’s Cruze hatchback and the Vauxhall Astra, the Volt is a four-seat hatch powered by lithium ion batteries that can be recharged by plugging into the mains, or on the go by its on-board 1.4-litre petrol engine. General Motors insists that the Volt is not a hybrid but an ‘extended range electric vehicle’. GM is confident the Volt will be capable of covering up to 40 miles on a single charge but, unlike every other EVs, fluctuations in range don’t really matter because the Volt can fire up its 1.4-litre petrol engine to charge its batteries and ensure there’s always drive to the front-wheels. The electric motor is rated at 150bhp, and delivers a healthy 273lb ft of torque, or about the same as a 2.0-litre diesel. The most significant point is that the Volt is just like a normal hatchback to drive, with the added benefit of being very quiet. There’s virtually no noise when you press the illuminated start button and you only have to pull the shift lever into ‘D’ mode to make a silent getaway. The smooth torque of the electric motor does a surprisingly good job of disguising the Volt’s 1715kg kerb weight. Its linear power delivery builds speed very smoothly and is helped by the fact that there are no gearchanges to interrupt progress. However, the Chevy seems to encourage the driver to flow along gently, rather than to push on. This is mostly thanks to a combination of the steady swell of torque, lack of gear changes, the silence of the drivetrain and the dash graphic counting down the distance to discharge. On the motorway, the engine/generator actually connects up to the Volt's planetary gearbox, assisting the electric motor to drive the front wheels at speeds above 60mph when necessary - or when ascending very steep hills. The driver can clearly feel the surge of extra power. new cars,car rental, games car, what car, car game, car tax,camping car, car wash, car insurance , hire car, carsales , car accident,car loan , car sales ,car finance, car for sale , car insurance, car check , done deal, car zone, carzone, enterprise rental car, Car Transportation mode, Car rental - Organization type, Vehicle audio - Invention, Product Cars 2015, Cars 2015, Best Car, automotive cars, automotive car parts, automotive car accessories , automotive car care , automotive car paint , automotive car repair , southern maryland automotive car oil change , automotive car lifts , automotive car mats , automotive car wax , automotive car engine , automotive car battery, used cars for sale, craigslist cars, car for sale, car dealerships, second hand cars, compare cars, cheap cars for sale, cheap cars, used car car finder used car values car value sell my car new cars cars for sale by owner value my car car trader car reviews new car trade in value old cars for sale car dealers new cars 2015 used car prices cars in india car news buy a car buy used cars car sale new car deals car values car prices new car prices buy car cheap used cars cars online new cars in india what is my car worth car price buy cars used car sales car compare auto sales car search pre owned cars new cars for 2015 car deals auto finder buying a car buy my car new cars for sale car for sale by owner find a car car price guide value of my car whats my car worth car price in india sell car how to buy a car cheap new cars best car deals cars under 1000 used car search vehicles for sale best new car deals cheapest new car maruti new car car review car prices in india new car games latest cars cheapest car cars sales find cars car buyers guide maruti suzuki new car 2015 new cars used vehicles compare cars india car shopping cheapest cars buying a new car cars sale buy car online buy cars online used car price guide tata new car new cars under 15000 new cars in 2015 new cars in india 2015 car ratings new car launches new car launches in india compare car nearly new cars new cars 2016 autos for sale buy a used car car buy cars 4 sale best new cars comparison of cars car brokers
