this is not a hybrid, it is an electric vehicle with a gasoline powered engine that turns on when the batteries run down.
you can plug it into almost any household electrical outlet to recharge the batteries ,with the included 115 volt charger, or you can buy a 230 volt charger . charges in about 10 hours with the 115 volt charger , about 4 hours with the 230 volt charger. you can also use the free public 230 volt chargers that many local governments are installing, or pay to use the ones many businesses are installing. either way, electricity is a lot cheaper then gas. I have been averaging 9 kilowatt hours to charge it. averages 30 miles on a charge. average 300 miles a week for $20.00. if you charge it outside in the cold, you get less miles on a charge. that is just a characteristic of batteries, performance goes down in the cold. in the summer, i was getting 38- 40 miles on a charge. so i would guess, if you charge it in a garage, you will also get 38-40 miles.
I am selling it because it is not working out for me. I drive 50 miles one way to work ,so about half of the time i am on gas and i am not saving anything. if you only drive it 30 miles a day, the gas engine never comes on and you never buy gas.
I am the second owner.
(EDIT) as far as i know, i am the second owner. The auotcheck report says I am the only owner and that it was owned by several dealers, but apparently never sold. the report also does not show anything after i bought it.
about 70,000 miles left on the drive batteries warranty.
remote start. you can also remote start it from anywhere with ONSTAR and a cell phone.
key less , push button start. manual key back up, in case the key fob dies.
back up camera, parking collision avoidance alarms,bluetooth. most climate, radio and bluetooth controls are display screen and touch screen. new tires. just got serviced at the chevy dealer.
nothing wrong with it. nothing broken. just normal scratches.
I have a loan on it, so buyer will have to wait for lien holder to release the title. you can take the car as soon as you pay for it, but it might be a few days for the lien holder to send me the title.
these cars sell for $40 -50,000.00 new, so i think it is worth the asking price. you can get one with a cheaper sticker price at a dealer, but i doubt you will drive it off the lot for that price. if you dont like the price, make me an offer.
no shipping. if you are out of the area you will have to make your own shipping arrangements.
I drive to Norwich area almost every afternoon, so if you live along the way, i can stop by for you to see it and test drive it.
I am still driving the car, so i cant give actual mileage . as of today, 31,010. I am estimating it will be around 32,000 during this listing.
please dont waste my time with payment scams, I have heard them all.

2016 Chevy Volt arrives with 50-mile EV range, 41 mpg [w/ video]

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Let's start with the numbers. The 2016 Chevy Volt will have an all-electric range of 50 miles from a new, 18.4-kWh lithium battery. It will get 41 miles per gallon (combined) once the battery runs dry and have 102 MPGe. Oh, and it has five seats, sort of. To compare, today's four-seat 2015 Volt has a 38-mile range from a 17.1-kWh battery in a powertrain that offers 37 mpg and 98 MPGe. So, across the board, there are notable improvements. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk story. General Motors will unveil the new Volt at the Detroit Auto Show later today, but it's been talking about how this new version – the first major plug-in hybrid vehicle to get a serious redo in the modern era Â– was crafted with reams and reams of data from first-gen Volt customers. At a preview event for journalists last week, GM executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told Autoblog that these owners "gave us the recipe" to make the second-gen model. At the top of the request list was more range (check), more "fun-to-drive" behavior (check?) and a smoother and quieter experience (we'll assume a check here, given that the new 1.5-liter four-cylinder Â– the first North American application of this new engine family Â– should offer more power with less noise than the previous 1.4-liter, four-cylinder powerplant). Other customer-driven changes in the new Volt include a different place to store the charging cable (in the side of the trunk instead of under the load floor) and a new brake system with improved blended regenerative braking feel as well as driver-selectable regen levels. The requested 50-mile range comes from a new, lighter battery that has increased capacity from fewer cells (192 vs. 288) and a simplified control architecture. Along with the new battery, the electric drive unit is a two-motor deal that is up to 12 percent more efficient and 100 pounds lighter, while also being "tremendously smaller," notes Fletcher. It offers 294 pound-feet of torque and a maximum 149 horsepower of "motoring power" delivered to the wheels. GM says it has worked hard to reduced the amount of rare earth materials in these motors, and one of them doesn't use any at all. The new powertrain offers improved acceleration times, as well. The 2016 Volt can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds, a seven-percent improvement, while the 0-30 mph time has been improved by 19 percent, down to 2.6 seconds. The new Volt is more conventional looking, but certainly not completely ordinary.

Watch this week's Top Gear America used-car challenge

Sat, Sep 9 2017

Top Gear America is back for the penultimate episode of the first season. Used car challenges were some of the highlights of the original UK edition. In our exclusive clip, Tom Ford, Antron Brown and William Fichtner run their $7,000 sports cars in a drag race. As expected, the trio chose very different cars for the challenge. Watch the video to see if a Subaru WRX's all-wheel drive can overcome a power deficit to beat a Ford Mustang and a Chevy Corvette. Brown and Fichtner also spend some time relaxing with an old Jeep Wagoneer. Like them, we're really hoping Jeep will bring back the Wagoneer nameplate. Brown also drives a Maserati Levante, proving that not all family cars need be boring. This week's guest star is actor, rapper and former host of Pimp My Ride, Xzibit. Top Gear America airs Sundays at 8 p.m. Eastern on BBC America. Related Video: Celebrities TV/Movies Chevrolet Ford Subaru Top Gear exclusive top gear america

Netflix and GM called the agreement "part of a commitment to a more sustainable future." Financial terms were not disclosed. Netflix said it will help creators "better understand how EVs can complement and enhance their stories." Shows that will feature GM's electric vehicles include "Love is Blind," "Queer Eye" and "Unstable." Netflix productions also will include electric vehicles made by other automakers, the company said.
