2012 Chevrolet Volt - Design and Performance | Wheaton Chevrolet Victoria
Exterior
Thoughtful efficiency
By its very nature, Volt is engineered to change the face of transportation as we know it. Nearly every component of Volt has been selected to get the most out of every charge, including:
Aerodynamics that maximize the distance per charge and miles per gallon of fuel
A closed grille and aerodynamic back edges that contribute to its fuel efficiency
Energy-efficient Bose® Sound System
Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires
Interior
The dashboard reimagined
Volt has two LCD screens that display speed, battery power, range to recharge or re-fill as well as an efficiency gauge that gives you real-time feedback. On the center console you'll find a seven-inch diagonal high-resolution screen with touch-sensitive control that helps you get the most out of your Volt.
PERFORMANCE
Power from an exceptional battery
The Volt battery has gone through numerous environment-specific tests, including corrosion and hot- and cold-weather testing and the results were so promising that the 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack is backed by an 160,000 km /8-year limited warranty.
Here are a few more notes on the battery:
?Volt offers an EPA-estimated 56 kms of initial EV range offering a gas-free and tailpipe emissions-free commute for about $1.50 of electricity per day
?When the battery is depleted, a small, quiet onboard gas generator creates electricity that powers your Volt as you drive for hundreds of additional miles
?Lithium-ion cells outperform nickel-metal hydride cells (found in today's hybrid vehicles) in terms of life cycle
?A liquid thermal cooling and heating system keeps the battery at a comfortable temperature as it's being charged and discharged
Here are a few more advantages
Commute gas-free on electricity(3) for an average of $1.50 a day
Can be set to charge during off-peak hours for greater savings
Your Volt will be fully charged in about 10 hours, depending on climate, with standard 120-volt line, or as little as 4 hours using a dedicated 240-volt line
Some Volt owners may qualify for tax rebates from local governments.
