I came by this amazing concept car from Chevrolet called the Chevy Volt, with it’s revolutionary E-Flex Propulsion System which will be different than any previous electric vehicle because it will use a lithium-ion battery with a variety of range-extending onboard power sources, including gas and, in some vehicles, E85 ethanol to recharge the battery while driving.
When it comes to plugging in, the Volt will be designed to use a common 240-110 Volt household plug. For someone who drives less than 64 km (40 miles) a day, Chevy Volt will use zero gasoline and produce zero emissions. For longer trips, Chevy Volt’s range-extending power source kicks in to recharge the lithium-ion battery pack as required.
