CHEVROLET VOLT 2011

Potenciado por electricidad sin tener que estar atado a un enchufe, el Volt es único entre los vehículos eléctricos porque tiene dos fuentes de energía: una elíctrica que te permite manejar sin usar gasolina por 35 millas (según la EPA) y otra que produce electricidad con un generador de gasolina, para que puedas manejar por cientos de millas adicionales con un solo tanque de combustible(3). Esta innovación en tecnología ha cambiado el futuro de la industria automotriz y le ha dado la libertad a los conductores de seguir manejando. Así, el Volt no sólo te lleva, tambiín te trae de regreso.

El Volt fue seleccionado como "Auto Norteamericano del Año 2011" por periodistas automovilísticos. Ademâs, se llevó el premio Car of the Year® de Green Car Journal y fue elegido Automóvil del Año por la revista Automobile. ¡Parece que a alguien le gusta ganar!

Volt FAQs

(1)Based on GM testing. EPA estimates not yet available.
(2)Whichever comes first. See dealer for details.
(3)To take advantage of a reduced off-peak rate plan, you must sign up through your utility. Not all utilities offer off-peak rate plans at this time.

Overview

  • Q. What is Volt?
  • A. Volt is a full performance and full speed electric vehicle with extended range. In its simplest form, the Volt operates two ways - EV mode (battery powered) and extended-range (gasoline powered). With a fully charged battery, in moderate conditions and depending on the temperature, terrain, battery age and how you drive, Volt offers an initial electric range of 35 miles(1) - totally gas and tailpipe emissions free. After that, you can drive for a total range of up to 375 miles(2) with the extended range mode until you can plug it in or fill it up again.

    1. EPA estimate. Actual range varies with conditions.

    2. EPA estimated 93 MPGe (electric); 35 city, 40 hwy MPG (gas). Actual range varies with conditions.
  • Q. How Volt works.
  • A. Energy is stored on board in a 16-kWh, T-shaped lithium-ion battery. The battery powers the electric drive unit, which is capable of meeting full vehicle speed and acceleration performance while driving the car electrically for an initial range without using a drop of gas.
    And when the Volt's electric range has been used up, a gas engine works with the electric motors to keep you going. So whether you want to go cross-town or cross-country, you're free to drive wherever you want, efficiently. And even though the Volt plugs into any standard 120 V household outlet, if you don't have a chance to charge it, all you have to do is fill it up just like you do with your car now.
  • Q. How often do I have to plug it in?
  • A. While Volt has been designed to be the most efficient when it's plugged in daily, it will run efficiently without being plugged in for days, weeks or even months. With Volt, you don't have to plug in every day if it doesn't accommodate your schedule.
  • Q. What is it like to drive Volt?
  • A. Those who've had an opportunity to test-drive Volt have noticed how easy it is to use. Steve Parker, blogging on Huffington Post, commented on what it's like to drive Volt: Push the "start" button and Volt springs into life All in all, it's an intuitive area for the driver The car is quiet, smooth and fast off the line (electric motors have all their torque at start-up, unlike gas engines which need time to build power). On top of that, Volt can also accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about nine seconds.
  • Q. Is the Volt an electric car or a hybrid?
  • A. Volt is an innovative, never-been-done-before car that exists alone, in a brand-new category of cars. Volt is a full performance electric vehicle with extended range.
  • Q. How is the Volt different than the Toyota Prius (or a typical hybrid)?
  • A. Hybrids are not designed to travel extended distances in EV mode. Hybrids generally use battery power while stopped or at low speeds, and also cannot typically operate at high speeds while being powered by electricity alone. Volt is designed to travel longer distances and at all speeds (up to 100 mph) in EV mode. Once the battery is depleted, Volt uses the gas-powered, range extending generator to drive hundreds more miles.
  • Q. Why did GM go to all the trouble of developing something new instead of improving its previous electric car, the EV1?
  • A. Volt is an electric car with the flexibility that most American drivers need. We heard from American drivers that the current cars on the market aren't giving them what they want. They want freedom from the gas pump and freedom from the charging station. And that's why we built the Volt as a better electric car. The Volt can be your only car. A car that gives you freedom from gas and freedom to drive anywhere you like.
  • Q. Will old gas sitting in the tank damage my vehicle? I do not drive too far and I plan on using very little gasoline.
  • A. Part of the allure of Volt is the ability to drive gas and tailpipe emissions free. However, that means the gasoline in the tank might sit there for an extended period of time.

    There are two modes that help make this process worry free.

    Automatic Engine Maintenance: The Volt will alert you, as required, about every 6 weeks to run the engine to keep it properly maintained and lubricated. Note: This only occurs if the engine has not been used for the last 6 weeks.

    Automatic Fuel Maintenance: The Volt will alert you that the engine will run to use up some of the older gasoline in the tank (over one year old). If the fuel in the tank is over 365 days old, the Volt will also alert you to add some fresh gas (gas will stay good in Volt's pressurized tank for approximately 365 days).

    I guess if you've got that problem, it means that you've managed to stay gas and tailpipe emissions free for one heck of a long time. Good job!

Range

  • Q. Electric Driving Range
  • A. With a fully charged battery, in moderate conditions and depending on the temperature, terrain, battery age and how you drive, you can go 35 miles(1) on the electricity stored in the battery - totally gas and tailpipe emissions free.

    (1) EPA estimate. Actual range varies with conditions.
  • Q. Battery
  • A. On a full electric charge, most people can commute gas- and tailpipe emissions-free for an average of $1.50 of electricity per day(1). The battery combines the power of 288 lithium-ion battery cells. Each cell is about the size of a 5- by 7-inch photo frame, less than a quarter-inch thick, and weighs about a pound. The battery monitors the voltage and current of groups of cells.(1) EPA estimated 35 miles initial range based on 93 MPGe (electric); actual range varies with conditions.
  • Q. How does regenerative braking work?
  • A. Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. When a vehicle slows or stops, this energy must be dissipated, which is usually accomplished through a conventional braking system, which converts the kinetic energy to heat. But this energy, which is typically lost, can be recaptured in the Volt, which instead converts it into electricity, helping to make Volt even more efficient to drive.

    Here's how it works: Volt accelerates using its electric motor by converting electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy. When you step on the brakes, even slightly, the electric motor reverses this process, converting mechanical energy from the motion of the vehicle back to electric energy into the battery to be re-used later.
  • Q. I thought the EV range was 25 to 50 miles, Why does the EPA label say 35 miles?
  • A. While the published EPA EV range for the Volt is an estimated 35 miles, the electric range that customers actually experience may be higher or lower than 35 due the driver's technique, the terrain, battery age and the outdoor temperature. On a full charge, most customers under moderate conditions will experience an estimated 25 to 50(1) miles of EV range. The high range of 50 miles is based on ideal circumstances - conservative driving using no air conditioning in mild outdoor temperatures. The 25 mile range represents a slightly more aggressive driving style using the heater in the ECO setting in cold outdoor temperatures of 25 degrees F.

    1. EV range claim is derived from EPA testing methodology. 50 miles is based on Urban Federal Test Procedure, which represents a miserly driver using no air conditioning in mild outdoor temperatures. 25 miles is based on a slightly more aggressive driving style using the heater in ECO setting at 74 degrees with cold outdoor temperatures of 25 degrees F.

    2. EPA estimated 35 miles initial electric range. Actual range varies with conditions. EPA estimated 93 MPGe (electric); 35 city, 40 hwy MPG (gas).
  • Q. Can I alter my driving habits to improve EV range?
  • A. There are a few ways to help with the extended range.
    • - In terms of driving behavior, Volt has an efficiency gauge to help you drive smarter and more
      efficiently. You can optimize your efficiency by keeping the ball green and in the center of the
      gauge while you drive.
    • - Control your cabin temperature settings. You'll get the most EV range with the heat and air
      conditioning turned off. To aid with this, there are three climate modes to choose from:
      Fan-only (most efficient), Eco and Comfort.
    • - When you are done driving, take a look at the screen where Volt rates your driving style and climate
      settings to see how your last drive was rated for efficiency.
  • Q. What will cause my EV range to vary?
  • A. The electric range of the Volt may be higher or lower than expected due the driver's technique, the terrain, and/or the outdoor temperature. In other words, driving and braking aggressively, driving in areas with large elevation changes, or driving in extreme outdoor temperatures will impact the electric range capability. While electric-only range may vary based on these factors, the range extender feature is always available for hundreds of miles of additional driving.
  • Q. What causes the in-vehicle display for EV range to adjust?
  • A. The EV Range displayed in the vehicle is a projection based on recent driving conditions. It is normal for the displayed value to adjust while the vehicle is driven, as this estimate is constantly being re-calculated. Adjustments are based on recent driving history for the vehicle. The displayed EV Range can vary from season to season, week to week, day to day and even drive to drive.

    High/Maximum impact Medium Impact Low/Minimal Impact
    High cabin heat used on a cool day Eco cabin climate control Radio/USB
    Cabin A/C on a hot day Rear window defog Sport Mode
    Defrost (front window)   Heated Seats
    Cold outdoor temperatures   Accessories (power outlet)
    High Speeds (70+ mph)   Low tire pressure
    Aggressive Accelerations    
    Steep Incline    
  • Q. Will the engine ever start when there is EV range available?
  • A. Yes, when vehicle power is ON, the engine may start to provide energy for heating and cooling, independent of the vehicle being plugged in or completely charged. Some other conditions that may also cause the engine to start include:
    • - Propulsion battery charge is low
    • - Propulsion battery temperature is hot or cold
    • - Cold ambient temperatures
    • - Hood is open
    • - Engine and Fuel Maintenance (occur only if engine has had very limited operation over a long period)
  • Q. Why does the engine start in cold ambient temperatures? What happens to the EV range?
  • A. In cold temperatures (around 25 degrees Fahrenheit and lower) the engine will start to help warm the interior cabin and the electric drive unit. This will occur even if the vehicle was plugged in prior to driving and if the driver has the heater turned off.
    The vehicle will turn the engine on and off as needed to control the temperature. The driver will be alerted of these changes based on the cluster changing displays from EV mode to extended range mode.
  • Q. What does "L" on the PRNDL do?
  • A. "L" position provides more coast down regenerative braking. When in "L" you can feel the vehicle decelerate more aggressively when you lift off the accelerator pedal. "L" can be useful for maintaining speeds on hilly roads.
  • Q. What happens if I drive further than the EV range (i.e., more than 35 miles)?
  • A. On a full charge, the Volt's initial electric range is an estimated 35 miles(1). After the Volt's electric range has been used up, a gas engine works with the electric motors to keep you going for up to 375 miles(1) of total range. So whether you want to go cross-town or cross-country, you're free to drive wherever you want, efficiently. And even though the Volt plugs into any standard 120V household outlet, if you don't have a chance to charge it, all you have to do is fill it up just like you do with your car now.

  • Q. How does ReGen braking work?
  • A.

Fuel Economy

  • Q. Why is the Volt Fuel Economy Label different?
  • A. With the influx of new-technology vehicles, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Transportation are revising the fuel-economy labels for 2012 that are required on all new cars and light-duty trucks.
    Volt's fuel economy label for 2011 is based on one of the proposals for 2012.
  • Q. How is the mpg displayed in the Volt calculated? Is it on the label?
  • A. In-vehicle, the Volt displays mpg calculated from the total miles driven divided by the total gallons of gas used. This is how most consumers think about fuel economy today, but it does not match the MPGe figures. The table on the lower portion of the Volt label shows what Volt drivers can expect to achieve using this calculation for mpg depending on how frequently they plug in.
    Because real world fuel consumption of plug-in vehicles, like the Volt, is so dependent on how frequently they are charged, this table is particularly helpful for consumers in estimating how much gas they would use.
  • Q. What is MPGe, why is it on the label?
  • A. Current Electric Vehicles show EPA city and highway efficiency in units of kWh/100 miles, this makes it difficult for consumers to compare energy efficiency with more traditional cars and hybrids that are rated in miles per gallon.
    The 2011 Volt label shows that cars will be rated on a miles-per-gallon-equivalent (MPGe) scale, which converts alternative means of propulsion-such as electricity-based on its energy content relative to that of gasoline (for example, 33.7 kWh = 1 gallon of gas).
    Vehicles that use electricity more efficiently (lower kWh/100 miles) will have a higher MPGe value.
  • Q. How many different mpgs are on the Volt label?
  • A. On the official vehicle label, fuel economy for the Volt is calculated several ways.

    1. MPGe (all-electric)
    2. MPG (gas only) assumes you never charge the Volt
    3. MPGe (combined) based on a blend of EV and extended range driving
    4. There is also a table on the label that shows the overall mileage (total miles/total gallons used) that a driver might realize a similar calculated value is displayed within the vehicle.

Charging

  • Q. Off-peak charging.
  • A. To use the power grid more efficiently, we recommend recharging the Volt when overall energy demand is at its lowest each day. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, this is usually from around 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. If you'd like to know whether reduced off peak electricity rates are offered in your area, contact your local electric company(3).
  • Q. What happens if I never charge the battery?
  • A. You'll probably spend more money on gas than you need to, but Volt will run just fine.
  • Q. Charging Station — Preparing for your Volt.
  • A. Every Volt comes standard with a 120V portable charge cord that can plug into most common household outlets and will fully charge a Volt in about 10 hours, depending on outdoor temperature. You can also have a 240V charging station (additional cost plus installation) professionally installed in your home that will reduce the charging time to about 4 hours.

    Upon ordering a new Chevrolet Volt, discuss with your Volt Customer Advisor the benefits of installing a dedicated 240-volt home charging station. 240V Charging stations provide faster and more consistent charge times.

    Chevrolet's home charging service provider offers charging stations, installations, permits, inspections, as well as information on special programs and incentives. Visit homecharging.spx.com/volt for more information.
  • Q. Is a special outlet required to charge the Volt?
  • A. No, you can plug it into any standard 120V household outlet. In the case of a non-dedicated circuit, the current rating of the outlet circuit breaker could be exceeded and cause it to trip or open.
  • Q. How long does Volt take to charge?
  • A. Using a 120V plug outlet, in about ten hours, depending on the climate, you'll have a fully charged Volt waiting for you, ready to go. You can also install a 240V charge station, which can charge Volt in as little as four hours. In very hot (95° F) or cold temperatures (25° F), charging times and energy usage will increase when using the 120V portable cord set. A 240V Charging Station is strongly recommended for consumers who plan to charge in extreme weather conditions (over 95° F or below 20° F) on a regular basis.
  • Q. What happens if the battery is not fully charged?
  • A. You won't have to worry about having enough time to fully charge Volt. A partially charged battery will work until it runs out, then the gas-powered electric generator will seamlessly kick in to provide electricity and extend your range for hundreds of miles.
  • Q. How much does Volt cost to charge?
  • A. Electricity is an extremely affordable transportation fuel. With a fully charged battery, most people can commute gas- and tailpipe emissions-free for about $1.50 per day(1). That's about the same annual cost as running a common household appliance. To save even more, some utility companies offer lower electricity rates for vehicles charging during off-peak periods, such as night.

    (1) EPA estimated 35 miles initial range based on 93 MPGe (electric); actual range varies with conditions.
  • Q. What is Chevrolet doing with used batteries?
  • A. Well before the first Volt was sold, Chevrolet was looking to what will happen to the vehicle's batteries at the end of the EV's life cycle. Used battery cells may help to increase the efficiency of the electrical grid in America. GM has signed a memorandum of understanding with ABB Group aimed at developing new projects just for the Volt batteries after they've lived out their useful lives in the extended-range EV.
  • Q. Will I deplete the battery more quickly if I charged it before it is completely run down?
  • A. The Li-ion battery holds its charge efficiently and has no memory effect, which means you don't have to run it down completely before recharging.
  • Q. I know a little about wiring. Can I install a charging station myself?
  • A. We recommend that you have the 240V charging station professionally installed in your home by a certified electrician. Visit homecharging.spx.com/volt for information regarding home charging equipment, installation and special programs.
  • Q. I live in an apartment. How do I go about charging my Volt?
  • A. You will need access to a minimum requirement of a 120V/15A dedicated outlet that is located no more than 15 to 20 feet from your vehicle. Extension cords should NOT be used. Check with your property manager to see if they can accommodate your request.
  • Q. I sit in traffic on my commute. Does the battery drain when I am sitting still?
  • A. If you are using power the battery will deplete, it is just a matter of how much. For example, sitting in traffic without the heat or air conditioning on will cause minimal battery drain. However, using high heat on a cool day or high A/C on a hot day or the defrost function will cause the battery to drain more quickly.

Battery Life

  • Q. Why lithium-ion?
  • A. When you compare lithium-ion and nickel metal hydride battery technologies, it's clear why lithium was picked to power Volt. As you can see in the charts, lithium is superior in terms of power density, energy density and cycle life.
  • Q. How is the Volt battery protected from the elements?
  • A. A great battery is nothing unless it lasts. Each battery cell is encased in a polymer coated aluminum package to withstand harsh climates. It also uses meticulously developed anode, cathode and electrolyte chemistries to improve the battery life under high temperature conditions and a wide range of charge states. A liquid thermal cooling and heating system keeps the battery at a comfortable temperature as it's being charged and discharged.
  • Q. Battery Capacity over vehicle life.
  • A. Like all batteries, the amount of energy that the high voltage "propulsion" battery can store will decrease with time and miles driven. Depending on use, the battery may degrade as little as 10% to as much as 30% of capacity over the warranty period.
  • Q. What makes the Volt battery unique?
  • A. The Volt battery is designed for long life and to be reliable. Each battery pack is made up of 288 rectangular cells arranged in a series-parallel configuration. Computer systems monitor the battery cells to make sure everything is working correctly.
  • Q. Since this is a different kind of battery, I need to know what I can do to best take care of it.
  • A. Here are a few tips to help you maximize the life of your battery:
    • - It is recommended that the vehicle be plugged-in when ambient temperatures are below 32F (0C) and
      above 90F (32C).
    • - It is preferable to park out of direct sunlight to help stabilize any environmental effects. This is
      particularly important in very hot climates.
    • - If long term, unplugged storage is required, store the vehicle with (50%) charge or less and always
      store it in an environment with temperatures between 15F (-10C) and 85F (30C). Like any vehicle the
      12V battery may need to be supported during extended periods without driving. See the owner manual
      for how to keep the 12V battery from running down during extended storage.
  • Q. Durable battery design.
  • A. A great battery is nothing unless it lasts. That's why Chevy teamed up with LG Chem to design a durable and reliable battery. Each battery cell is encased in a polymer coated aluminum package to withstand harsh climates. It also uses meticulously developed anode, cathode and electrolyte chemistries to improve the battery life under high temperature conditions and a wide range of charge states. A liquid thermal cooling and heating system keeps the battery at a comfortable temperature as it's being charged and discharged.

Warranty

  • Q. Is there a warranty on the battery?
  • A. Chevrolet backs it with a 100,000 mile/8-year Battery and Voltec Component Warranty(2). In addition to the battery, the warranty covers the thermal management system, charging system and electric drive components.

Incentives

  • Q. Are there any incentives available for Volt?
  • A. Currently the federal government offers up to a $7,500 tax credit when you purchase a qualified plug-in electric vehicle such as Volt(4). People who buy a residential charging station can also receive up to a $1,000 tax rebate(5). Individual states may offer incentives on top of those as well. Check to see what's offered where you live.

La manufactura de vehículos eficientes(3) como el Volt, es una manera de utilizar los recursos de manera más eficiente. Pero eso es sólo el principio. Mediante la Iniciativa de Reducción de Carbono de Chevy, nos hemos comprometido a reducir el total de nuestras emisiones  de dióxido de carbono por hasta ocho millones de toneladas métricas durante los próximos años(8). Es el equivalente de la reducción de CO2 de 1.2 millones de hectáreas de bosques de pino(9). Es una meta ambiciosa, pero el planeta se lo merece. Después de todo, esto debe ser un esfuerzo en equipo.

RECONOCIMIENTOS

No hay nada como cambiarlo todo

El año del Volt continua. Green Car Journal nombró al Nuevo Chevrolet Volt el Auto Ecológico del Año 2011, el primer auto eléctrico que obtiene ese reconocimiento. La reconocida revista de alta eficiencia de combustible y vehículos de combustible alternativo dijo que “ha sido un largo tiempo de espera”, mencionando que los modelos de autos eléctricos iniciales dieron esperanza de cambio pero no eran muy prácticos. El Volt es propulsado por electricidad por un rango inicial de 35 millas por una sola carga, tras lo cual un generador de gasolina crea electricidad para propulsarlo por hasta 340 millas adicionales por tanque de gasolina.* Realmente práctico.

*Según la EPA. El rango actual varía según las condiciones.
