GM’s Chevy Volt finally really unveiled, for real

Filed under:

The 2011 Chevy Volt has been officially unveiled that and we are pleased to note that the new pictures are much more flattering than the “glamour shots” released a week or so ago. The interior of the Volt features a driver-configurable LCD instrument display, 7-inch touch screen data display (for climate and “infotainment” control), Bluetooth, USB and optional GPS. Of course, what makes that vehicle noteworthy is the sheer plug-in-hybridness of it all: the car runs entirely off of its 16-kWh, lithium-ion battery. For trips up to 40 miles, the battery’s initial charge will suffice (granted you remembered to plug it in overnight). After the battery is spent,
the gasoline generator provides electricity to the Volt’s electric drive unit while simultaneously sustaining the charge of the battery for a range of “several hundred additional miles,” according to GM. Hit the read urls for far more info. and check out a drool-worthy interior photo and video walkthrough after the break.
