Chevrolet has announced that greater Washington DC will be an initial launch market for its 'Volt' electric vehicle with extended range. The city joins California and Michigan as the initial retail markets for Volt.
The Chevrolet Volt is an electric vehicle with an extended-range capability. It is designed to drive up to 40 miles on electricity without using gasoline or producing tailpipe emissions. When it's lithium-ion battery is depleted, an engine/generator operates to extend driving range if there is no access to an electrical outlet to recharge battery, thus eliminates range anxiety.
According to Chevrolet, it will deliver around 100 Volts to several utilities across US, including Pepco and Dominion, which serves Washington DC and its suburbs as part of an extended demonstration program. The overall program includes 500 charging stations that will be installed for residential, business and public use.
