2016 Chevrolet Volt offers 50-mile pure electric range


2016-chevrolet-volt-1Zipping in with all its electric charm is the 2016 Chevrolet Volt, which looks a lot like a modern day muscle car. What really tugs at the heart-strings is a fact that it is an eco-friendly electric car with ‘Voltec’ powertrain, which acts as a range-extender. This means that even with a 192-cell battery pack, the car conjures up a power capacity of up to 18.4 kWh. Another advantage of a smaller pack is the weight reduction by 21 pounds. The two-motor electric drive unit will be 12% more efficient and also help reduce weight by 100 pounds. The car’s battery can be charged in a modest 4.5 hours with 240V charger that can take it on a 50-mile cruise with only electric power. The 1.5-liter direct-injected gasoline engine can extend the distance to a sweet 420 miles.
