Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in-hybrid car proposed to compete with Toyota Prius hybrid. This shift of General Motors from fossil fuels to electric vehicles is attributed to the cutting edge of the fuel saving technology.
Unlike Honda Civic Hybrid and Toyota Prius Hybrid, this car runs only on charged batteries and cannot be switched over to petrol engine. It is equipped with a petrol engine of 1.0 litre that is used only to charge batteries and provide enough power to run the car.
Another significant feature of this hybrid car is the option of converting gasoline engine to any other types of engine like diesel, biodiesel or hydrogen. This will help people to switch over engines.
The company promises to launch Volt in November 2010. Wait a second, don’t be overjoyed. This launch date is for the US market. Well India is also not far to get the car.
