Production Chevy Volt caught on set of Transformers 2
Friday, August 29th, 2008
The Chevrolet Volt has been doing rounds of auto shows in concept form, and is set for release in 2010. As brash as the deadline is, the Volt will be a remarkable car, designed to run purely on electricity from on-board lithium-ion batteries for up to 40 miles, enough for a commute to work, while charging the batteries overnight every day. Also, with the use of a small gasoline engine driving a generator to resupply the batteries, the Volt’s range is potentially increased to 362 miles on the highway. GM has been promoting this car a lot, and it has become a byword for the future of cars. As America suffers from high oil prices and General Motors is under the threat of bankruptcy, the Volt is seen as a savior for both. It has finally been fully exposed on the sets of the upcoming Transformers 2 movie. (more…)
