Are Electric Cars The Answer To High Gas Prices?

Chevy is just one of the many manufacturers that is releasing an electric car.  RealTruck.Com will be posting information from time to time on new information relating to electric cars.  Here at RealTruck.Com most of us drive pickup trucks, full size pickup trucks, without any regards to the soaring gas prices.  True pickup truck lovers will continue to drive the full size pickup trucks, the benefit we have now is that dealerships are reducing prices daily to get the new trucks off the lot.  The electric car we will be looking at today is the Chevy Volt.

Plug into history in the making.   Watch the unveiling of the remarkable Chevy Volt, a vehicle that will one day offer the freedom to drive up to 40 miles gas-free.  As part of GM’s centennial celebration, the unveiling of the Chevy Volt shows that the extended-range electric vehicle is no longer just a rumor, but a reality.
A tremendous amount of design and engineering resources have gone into translating Chevy Volt from a conceptual dream to a real-world solution. As an extended-range electric vehicle, it’s designed to move more than 75 percent of America’s daily commuters without using a single drop of gas.  In fact, Volt has been designed to be the most energy-efficient vehicle ever from Chevy.  Unlike traditional electric cars, Chevy Volt has a revolutionary propulsion system that takes you beyond the power of the battery. It will use a lithium-ion battery with a variety of range-extending onboard power sources, including gas and, in some vehicles, E85 ethanol(3) to recharge the battery while you drive beyond the 40-mile battery range. And when it comes to being plugged in, Chevy Volt will be designed to use a common household plug.  Visit chevy.com to see what the future holds.
