In Detroit: The Chevrolet Volt concept sedan offers, which is powered by the E-Flex system (GM's next-generation electric drive system), a striking design that could eliminate trips to the gas station.
The Chevrolet Volt is a battery electric vehicle with four-passenger top-of-the-line Chevy shares, fully fitted and makes use of gas-engine to create additional electricity to extend its range. The Volt concept is derived from previous experiences in the modern GMElectric vehicle market, particularly in 1996 when it launched the EV1.
According to GM Vice Chairman, President Robert A. Lutz, "The EV1 was the benchmark in battery technology and has been an amazing achievement. The Chevrolet Volt is a new type of electric vehicle. Depends on the area of the problem and has room for passengers and their luggage. You can climb a hill or turn on the air and do not worry. "
But despite the encouraging words of Lutz, president of GM, alarge number of people have the idea, with a furrowed brow, especially because electric vehicles are limited as a limited series, limited room for passengers or luggage, the inability to climb or run the air conditioning system without draining the battery positive is not a device you can get help in case the battery is running low. --- GM has solved all the problems mentioned above with their Volt.
The Volt can be charged for six hours by simply plugging in a 110-volt outlet. When the lithium-ionBattery is fully charged, the Volt can cover 60 km of the city of pure electric range. In the event that the battery is low, a 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder engine fills rotates at a constant speed (measured in revolutions per minute) simultaneously produce electricity and battery.
Chairman Lutz said: "If you live within 50 km from work (100 km round trip) and charged your vehicle every night when you came home or during the day at work, youlow fuel consumption of 1.6 liters per 100 km. More than half of all Americans live where they work 30 km (60 km round trip). In this case, you can never burn a drop of gasoline for the duration of the vehicle. "
The Volt is also running 07.04 1 / 100 km, even when under load. Use the engine to convert gasoline into electricity and extending its range of up to 1030 km, which doubles the capacity of a conventional vehicle. It will also runE85 is a fuel mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.
The Volt is just a variant of the E-Flex system and uses a large battery and a small, 1.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that produces enough electricity to cover about 1030 km. GM, other variants of the E-flex auto shows to present to the future.
