I went to a driving event in Irvine last weekend, sponsored by GM.
The car I was most interested in was the Chevy Volt, an electric powered vehicle.
It won the 2011 Motor Trend Car of the Year.
The volt is powered by an electric motor. The battery when fully charged will give you a range of 35-40 miles. After that, the volt will switch to gas to give you extended range.
The volt's battery takes 10 hours to charge on 120 volts. You can purchase the 240 volt charger and have an electrician install it for you and that will take about 4 hours to fully charge.
If your daily commute is less than 35 miles, the Volt would offer an all electric powered vehicle and would only cost about $1.50 to operate per day.
