I know that most of you already heard the negative effects brought by the recession. Many people as well as companies affected by that, including the GM motors. But, now, it’s a big surprise for everybody that the GM announced a new electric car known as the Chevy Volt. Well, it’s an example of how GM is trying to rebuild itself, as it drives away from bankruptcy and the massive government bailout that’s keeping it alive. So, to those who are electric car fans, get a load of the Chevy Volt. The Chevy Volt is the long awaited GM electric car. It’s technically not a full electric, it’s a plug in hybrid, as it does have a small gas motor, but the fuel efficiency is a Prius humiliating 230 mpg. It has a range of 40 miles on electric only, depending on weight and if the air conditioning is engaged, a total range of 300 miles, and you must charge it at least once a day. No word on whether Cash for Clunkers will be around for it. Still, if you don’t want to need cash advances for gas, the Chevy Volt might be worth the $40,000 sticker.

New Technology, Offtopic
There is no word play, it’s not on fire or anything. The new Chevy VOLT, the electric car, is coming and there are some really good pictures of it on SlashGear. I am no fan of American Cars, they have been lacking for some time and all feel very cheap, but the VOLT looks sporty and the interior is neat too. I might just have to get one of those and trade in my Volvo. Nothing says bleeding edge geek like the first all electric car from Chevy.
