How Valuable is the Chevy Volt?

How popular is this car? Cox Chevy has heard that there’s a shortage of Chevy Volts in California where residents are desperate to get them, practically out of necessity. Traffic is so bad in some of the major cities in California, they can’t even use the coveted HOV lane unless they own a hybrid vehicle. This becomes a tax incentive as well as open up space on the highway. Florida residents are starting to feel the effects of the $4 gallon.

The Volt was designed to let you take control of your fuel costs. The 1.4L internal combustion engine is mated with an electric motor to generate a combined 149-hp and 273 lb-ft. When powered completely by electricity, the Volt can get speeds up to 93 mph and go as far as 35 miles. Charge it up again at the end of the day using a 110 volt charging cord, and you get another 35 miles worth.

What happens if the charge runs out, and you can’t get to an outlet? That’s okay; the car automatically switches to gas. When operating solely on fuel, this mid-sized sedan gets an amazing 35 mpg in the city and up to 40 mpg on the highway. And that’s just using a 9.5 gallon fuel tank.
