If you’re in the market for a new car and looking for an eco-friendly option you may be interested in the Chevy Volt. The start button is a really cool feature. Just press it and you’re good to go. It’s surprising to see not only how smooth the ride was but how quickly the car accelerates.
Here’s how it works differently than anything else. The Volt can run for about 35 miles with no gasoline and no emissions. When the battery runs out, the Volt can tap into it’s small gas tank and drive hundreds of miles more.
Think charging the volt is complicated? Think again! All you do is put one side of a plug in the car and then plug it in to any standard sized outlet.
It takes up to ten hours to recharge the battery which is located underneath the back seat area. The location of the battery makes the car safer to drive but you do lose that third seat in the back.
So what’s a Chevy Volt going to cost you? A little more than $42,000. But it’s important to point out that you can get a big tax credit including one for more than $7,00 from the federal government.
Driving the Volt will help you Do Your Part to reduce the amount of gas you use when you hit the road and you’ll be doing it in style!
