Chevy Releases Volt Specs
By Chris Weiss
The Chevrolet Volt is hands-down one of the most interesting vehicles on its way out of post-public-loan GM, and today Chevy provided some additional numbers on the extended-range EV. They may be preliminary, but they’re impressive nonetheless.
The Volt will put out 150 horses and 273 lb-ft through the combination of 1.4-liter four-cylinder flex-fuel engine and electric motor. The motor will derive power from a 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
On the road, that system will deliver a practical top speed of 100 mph while offering 300 miles worth of range on a full tank of gas and 40 miles of electric-only driving. Chevy provides the 0 to 60 mph at 9 seconds. [via egmCarTech]
