ANDREW FARAH VEHICLE CHIEF ENGINEER, GLOBAL ELECTRIC VEHICLES

“Volt is significantly different from other electric vehicle

concepts because you have two onboard sources of energy.

You have the electric source—the battery. And a backup

generating system that we call range-extending, which

uses gas to generate electricity to continue your drive.

A while back, I drove to Florida from my home in Michigan.

I left with a full battery and a full tank of gas. For the first

part, I drove gas-free. Later the system switched over to

extended range and the next thing I knew, I was in Kentucky.

Volt just fits whatever you need to do.”

Volt is available to order at participating dealers. Quantities limited.

1 EPA-estimated 35-mile range based on 94 MPGe (electric); 340-mile range based

on 35 MPG city/40 highway (gas). Actual range varies with conditions.
