What Electric Power Can Do For You
The question on everyone's minds is: how does the 2012 Chevrolet Volt work? Drivers in Libertyville, Lake Bluff, and Waukegan are surely at least curious. The Volt runs primarily on its 149-hp electric motor that produces 273 lb-ft of torque. This works in concert with a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and when the battery has only thirty percent of its power left, the Volt's 1.4L gas engine takes over. That's right ? this is an electric vehicle that can also use gas, so you don't need to worry about running out of energy when you're far from home. You can charge the Volt at home with a 120-volt or 240-volt outlet, and it also uses regenerative braking technology to further bolster the battery. This is Chevy innovation at its finest!Safety isn't a concern either. The 2012 Volt has earned the very highest ratings from both the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and government crash testing. That means that you won't have to worry about sacrificing your safety and well-being for the tremendous fuel economy boasted by the Volt.
