This electric car Travel 64 km While Gasoline engine works which it is to charge the battery only, not to drive wheels

General Motors' electric car claimed his creation, the Chevrolet Volt, can walk as far as 64 miles without using gasoline.Travelling as far as it only requires electricity stored in batteries.

In a statement received by VIVAnews, the new Volt will use a gasoline engine after passing through 64 miles.
That was only to charge the battery, not to move the wheels like other hybrid cars.


When it is at home in order to fill the lithium-ion battery powered 16-kWh, it is very easy. Users Stay plugged into the mains. It took three hours only until the battery is fully charged, and it is even shorter if the battery is not depleted completely.

By simply relying on the battery, Volt can produce maximum power of 150 hp and 370 Nm of torque. Power is able to move the Volt up to 161 kilometers per hour speed.

GM managed to complete the development of commuter cars in just three years. it is faster than the original plan, 8-10 years. In a test conducted GM, Volt acceleration of 0-100 km / h can be reached in 9 seconds.

To achieve the target range as far as 64 miles without gasoline and emissions, GM's engineering design should maximize the Volt. Therefore, GM's designers spent hundreds of hours in wind tunnel (wind tunnel) to test the parts of the body, such as panel in front body, rear spoiler, until the outside rearview mirror.


"Chevy Volt is the result of engineering design of best aerodynamic vehicle produced by GM has ever produced," claims Rick Wagoner, GM Chairman and CEO. (Ywn)
