A 240V charging unit will recharge the car batteries in four hours. The batteries can be recharged in 10 to 16 hours using a 120V charging unit (most circuits in a house are at 120V). The EPA estimates the average person will get 98 miles per gallon (including the equivalent cost of electricity). It is possible to only use electric power and never use gasoline. How much gas is used depends on how the car is driven and when the batteries are recharged. The electricity can charge the battery or power the electric motor. This allows the gas engine to drive the car or to change its power to electricity. The gas engine and electric motors combine in a special type of transmission called a planetary gear, like the Toyota Prius. When the batteries run out of charge, they can be recharged from a special electrical outlet, or the car can turn on the gas engine. While the batteries have power, the car is like an electric car. The batteries have enough power to drive the car normally (it can go from 0 to 60 mph in 9 seconds). The Volt has 16.5 KWh of lithium batteries and a 1.4 liter engine using premium fuel. It can carry up to four people (including the driver).

After the battery is depleted, it switches to the extended range mode (petrol). This vehicle travels 25 to 50 miles (38 miles average) on electric power alone. The car was first produced in 2011 and is manufactured by Chevrolet division of General Motors.

Chevrolet Volt is an American plug-in hybrid car.
