By the way the Volt is a four-seat, four-door "series-parallel plug-in hybrid" hatchback with a lithium-ion battery pack that can power the car's 149-horsepower (111-kilowatt) electric motor by itself for an estimated 40 miles in the city. After that, the gasoline-powered inline-4 engine primarily supplies electricity to the motor for as many as 300 additional miles. All told, the Volt is the most advanced hybrid to date and quite possibly the most fuel-efficient car you will be able to buy.
Question about electric cars?
I was looking into the 2011 Chevrolet Volt. It is an electric car and has amazing gas mileage. But, in order to charge the battery, you have to use electricity, and I was just wondering how much it would raise my electric bill?
Answer:
You do realize that the volt has a gas engine that drives a generator that charges the battery so you don't have to charge it. You can drive up to 40 miles if you do charge it but its not required.
