MT. PLEASANT, MI – Chevy delivered what the customers were
asking for –The 2016 Volt gives drivers 53 miles of EV range! The brand new 2016 Volt offers its drivers 53 miles just
from one charge of the battery! This is almost a 40 percent increase from the
first-generation Volt model.
New Volt owners are using the new 18.4 kWh lithium-ion
battery, rated at a combined 106MPGe, or the gasoline equivalent. When the battery gets
low the car switches over to a gas-powered generator to increase the driving
range to 420 miles on a full tank.
Drivers of the new Volt are expected to use the battery power
for about 90 percent of their trips, compared to the first-generation Volt
owners who used battery power for only 80 percent of their trips. This is beneficial
because the owners can drive easily over 1,000 miles between each gas fill up
if they charge their new cars regularly.
The next-generation Volt also has a 1.5L range-extender,
which uses regular unleaded fuel, and gives the driver an EPA fuel efficiency
of 42 MPG, which gives the 2016 Volt 53 miles of EV range.
Statistics from the original Volt shows that customers
exceeded the previous EPA-estimated mileage and are expected to do the same
with the new Volt. Stay tuned to find out more about the release of the 2016 Chevrolet Volt.
