The Ultimate Hybrid - The Chevy Volt

In the 2007 North American International Auto Show, General Motors introduced in the latest hybrid technology V: The Chevy. Based on pure electric cars abandoned prior year, this is GM next attempt to rush out of the Toyota Hybrid throne.

The Volt runs a combination of a lithium-ion battery and a 1.0L three-cylinder turbo petrol engine. Convenience is the name of the game with the Volt, lithium-ion battery can actually fully chargedby connection to a 110V outlet for six hours. This allows the electric motor with a 40-mile charge.

The feature that makes your car is that the gasoline engine never directly powers the wheels. This is different from the current state of the art. In the Toyota Prius, the car switches between the electric motor and gasoline engine to turn the wheels. In volts when the battery charge would be dispelled, the gasoline engine recharges the battery. In theThe end everything comes motive power of electric motors and battery.

The result of this technology is a vehicle with features for upwards of 150 miles per gallon. However, if the owner is not the volt charging overnight, the vehicle would be closer to 60 miles per gallon. The 150-mpg would be based on the following situation: If you are a 60-mile round trip to work each day, of which 40 miles would only provide power to the battery. The remaining 20 miles would beDrive with the gas engine is running, running mpg on 50th The result is that you drive 60 miles on a mere 0.4 liters of gasoline on average 150 mpg.

If flexibility is what you are after, which also designed volts, with a variety of engine options are. One of the unique features of the Volt is that GM E-Flex system offers. The E-Flex system allows for some flexibility in the choice of engines. The turbocharged three-cylinder engine can be operated on gasoline or E85 fuel) (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline. This enginecould also be a diesel engine or even one that could run on bio-diesel to be replaced. The last option would be a hydrogen fuel cell.

The Volt also brings something new to the table that it is a sporty vehicle. The styling of the Prius is not exactly cutting edge, but the Volt is still a piece. With its sleek body and 21-inch wheels, it is sure to spice up the hybrid market.

Nevertheless, the Volt is not something in the immediate plans of GM. The idea for the Volt wouldrequire that it be found a cost-effective 400-lb lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion batteries of this size are currently not available. Further advances in battery technology would be needed for GM to consider the volts any production vehicle. These are extensions that could occur in less than a year or as many as 20 years. GM has stated that they feel the technology, it is almost done, but a vehicle like this is probably a decade away.

Hats off to GM forDevelopment of a hybrid car that many can appreciate. The Volt may be a decade away, or maybe even more, but GM is showing their commitment to alternative fueled vehicles with a focus on improved design and performance.
