When the Volt’s battery runs low, a gas-powered engine-generator seamlessly engages to extend the driving range until the vehicle can be recharged.įounded in Detroit in 1911, Chevrolet celebrates its centennial as a global automotive brand with annual sales of about 4.25 million vehicles in more than 140 countries. Typical electric driving range is 25-50 miles depending on temperature, terrain, driving technique and battery age. Because the Volt can use gasoline to create its own electricity in extended-range mode, long trips are possible. On a fully charged battery and tank of gas, the Volt has a total driving range of up to 379 miles. The Chevrolet Volt is an electric vehicle with extended-range capability. “We’re hearing from customers like Steve Wojtanek and Gary Davis, who are seeing great daily results.” “Today in the U.S., 80 percent of drivers commute fewer than 40 miles a day, making the Chevy Volt a great daily driver,” said Landy. That’s an impressive 547 mpg that I am achieving with my Volt.”
“In my Volt I’ve driven 4,600 miles on 8.4 gallons of gas. 9, ” said Volt owner Gary Davis of Greenville, S.C. “On April 11, I had to buy gas for the first time since filling up on Jan. “I have made it my goal to drive as efficiently as possible and I am seeing the results, with more than 3,417 miles under my belt – of which 2,225 are EV miles.” A Volt owner since December, Wojtanek is averaging 122 miles per gallon and visiting the gas station about once a month. It’s become a game to achieve as many miles as I can in EV mode,” said Steve Wojtanek, a Volt buyer in Boca Raton, Fla. “I am surprised how infrequently I go to the gas station.
“When the majority of miles driven are electrically, gas usage decreases significantly.” “Volt owners drove an average of 800 miles between fill-ups since the Volt launched in December, and in March they averaged 1,000 miles,” said Cristi Landy, Volt marketing director. In fact, some Volt owners say they are challenging themselves to see how fuel-efficient they can be by tracking how far and how long they can go without buying gasoline. DETROIT – Chevrolet Volt owners made fewer trips to the gas station in March, going an average of 30 days – or nearly a month – between fill-ups.
