Chevrolet VOLT 2012 SOmebOdy haS TO be first. Somebody has to create the future. Before, we had a vision—now we have Volt. Want to drive only on electricity? You can. Want to drive on electricity and gas? You can do that too. Because when you’re first, you Lead. don’t compromise—you Volt shown in Viridian Joule (extra-cost color). Volt is available to order at participating dealers. Quantities limited. aNdReW FaRah VEHICLE CHIEF ENGINEER, GLobaL ELECtRIC VEHICLEs C h aNgiNg T he WORL d “Volt is significantly different from other electric vehicle concepts because you have two onboard sources of energy. You have the electric source—the battery. And a backup generating system that we call range-extending, which uses gas to generate electricity to continue your drive. A while back, I drove to Florida from my home in Michigan. I left with a full battery and a full tank of gas. For the first part, I drove gas-free. Later the system switched over to extended range and the next thing I knew, I was in Kentucky.1 Volt just fits whatever you need to do.” Volt is available to order at participating dealers. Quantities limited. 1 EPA-estimated 35-mile range based on 94 MPGe (electric); 340-mile range based on 35 MPG city/40 highway (gas). Actual range varies with conditions.

I could never go back.” CHuCk FREdERICks, 2011 owNER “I was actually in control of how much gas I consumed, and it was a powerful feeling.” JoE NoCERa, autoMotIVE JouRNaLIst “I don’t ever have to plug it in. I can just use the gas engine if the battery is empty.” bILL RobbINs, 2011 owNER “We’re going to plug into solar, power up the Volt at night, and then be able to use it during the day basically on sunlight alone.” MaRk HILdEbRaNdt, 2011 owNER Passionate about automotive innovation?

Volt UNPLUgged Out here, there’s no such thing as “far enough.” Distance is measured in conversation, not mile markers. Still, it’s good to know you can hit the roads less traveled confident that Volt offers 35 gas-free miles and up to 375 total miles on a full charge and a full tank of gas.1 Quick fill-ups propel you hundreds of miles between charges. A definite plug for innovation. Volt shown in silver Ice Metallic with available features. Volt is available to order at participating dealers.

Over three years ago, Pamela Fletcher got a call from her boss, asking if she was ready for a new job—as Chief Engineer, Volt Propulsion System. Little did she know that one conversation would change her career and start people talking. WhaT COmeS TO miNd WheN yOU ThiNk abOUT VOLT? I like to think of Volt as a car with a full-size battery and a half-size engine. That full-size battery is a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack shaped like a T. yOU jUST PLUg iT iN aT NighT? Yes. That’s it. Your garage is your filling station. Volt has a charge port with a door on it. You just plug it in and walk away. WhaT’S The RaNge? Volt offers an EPA-estimated 35 miles on a fully charged battery alone. With a full tank of gas, the total driving range is up to 375 miles.1 SO WhaT haPPeNS iF yOU RUN OUT OF eLeCTRiCiTy? Well, you really don’t have to worry. If the battery runs low, Volt automatically transitions to a unique gasoline range-extending capability. Even if you never use it, you know you’ve got a backup plan. hOW dOeS VOLT OPTimize PeRFORmaNCe? Volt has many ways to enhance performance; some are active, some passive. In terms of passive features, the control system of Volt is what I like to call a co-pilot. Essentially, the system monitors the driver’s requests, and in real time, decides what is the most efficient way to deliver the called-for performance. This happens without the driver having to do anything special. hOW LONg iS The baTTeRy PaCk COVeRed? It’s backed by an 8-year/100,000-mile Battery and Voltec Component Warranty.2 I like to say this battery is one of the most pampered components in automotive history. dRiViNg FORCe PameLa FLeTCheR CHIEF ENGINEER, VoLt PRoPuLsIoN systEM Volt is available to order at participating dealers.
