GM reports that the plug-in Volt will drive up to 40 miles on battery power alone, before requiring it’s gasoline engine to kick in. GM has been testing the Volt’s powertrain and plug-in battery system for the last several months, in several different body types, but has not yet publicly released production photo’s of the Volt to the public yet. The design for the new Volt is done, it just hasn’t been released. This new electric plug-in vehicle, the Chevy Voly, is supposed to hit the showrooms in 2010.
