2011 Chevy Volt

Aug 09, 2010 – Columbiana Chevrolet is excited to announce the debut of the new 2011 Chevy Volt at its Columbiana Chevrolet dealership later in 2010. Columbiana Chevrolet has one of largest selections of new and pre-owned Chevrolet vehicles in eastern Ohio and looks forward to adding the Volt to its inventory later this year. The 2011 Chevrolet Volt, a revolutionary four-door, four-seat hybrid vehicle, is powered by a lithium-ion battery and a flex-fuel powered four-cylinder generator. Depending on variables such as weather, the electrical features in use and consumer driving style, the Volt can travel up to 40 miles on a full charge — completely free of gas and emissions.

The range-extending generator then kicks in, producing electrical power for up to an additional 300 miles of travel. With this system in place, Volt's range is without limit, because it can be powered by gas until owners can plug it back into a 120- or 240-volt outlet. The innovative hatchback also uses regenerative braking to replenish some of the energy being used to power the car. 2011 Chevrolet Volt News from Columbiana Chevy Dealer With hybrid vehicles offering a 40-mile range, three-fourths of the country would be able to commute to work cleanly, efficiently and affordably.
