(The hose-abrasion recall was already done at the factory. I've only had my 2019 Gen2 for a year and it has less than 8K. Reliability, you ask? I can't really say. (I disconnected the noise-maker speakers.) The Gen2 took me back to disdain for GM, I'm sad to say.īut I must say, I do like the lighter, better-performance Voltec unit, even though it has an audible golf-cart-like electric whine. With a fuel consumption of 1.2 litres/100km - 235 mpg UK - 196 mpg US (Average), 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 9.0 seconds, a maximum top speed of 99 mph (160 km/h), a curb weight of 3598 lbs (1632 kgs), the Volt LT has a naturally-aspirated Inline 4 cylinder engine, Hybrid / Petrol motor. The Gen1 was my first GM car and I was really impressed. I expected improvements with the Gen2, but it was the other way around. 1011 Town Creek Blvd, Greensboro, GA 30642. I've owned and worked on (mid-to-luxury) German and some Japanese brands and the Gen1 was every bit as good, or better put-together, with quality components - but not the Gen2, sadly. Local Car Dealership Selling New Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Used Cars. Ugh.Įverything I've touched, compared to the Gen1 (from light bulbs to door panels, fasteners and wiring) was below Gen1 par. The Gen 2 is a different platform, and basically a cheap, cheap, rattly, hollow, noisy consumer-level car. IMHO, the absolute best option (theoretically) would have been a Gen2 Voltec unit shoe-horned into a Gen1! Other than that, the Gen1 was a hands-down better, quality-built/over-engineered, quiet, solid car.

That price range could keep many away, but GM officials said tax incentives for buyers are expected to make it more affordable as the company ramps up manufacturing and lowers its costs.I've owned both. My Chevy Volt came with a GM advertised in Black and White in the owners manual and on the GM Owner's website, Volt 8 year warranty. The car is expected to cost between $35,000 and $40,000. GM said in August it expects the Volt to get 230 mpg (1 liter per 100 kilometers) in the city, based on early tests using draft guidelines from the US Environmental Protection Agency for calculating mileage of extended range electric vehicles. Two GM spokesmen said Lutz had a scheduling conflict.

GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz was expected to make the announcement, but didn't attend the event. Module 1 is made up of 90 cells and corresponds to GM part number. ``With GM at the lead, electronic vehicle development is creating entirely new industries,'' he said. The Volt battery pack consists of three lithium-ion modules in a T-shaped arrangement, each of which can be serviced individually. Jon Lauckner, GM's vice president of global product planning, said the company expects it will be the first US facility owned by a major automaker to produce an electric car. Michigan's take, more than $1 billion, was to be shared by 11 manufacturers and research facilities, including GM. In August, Vice President Joe Biden came to Detroit to announce that Michigan would be the largest recipient of $2.4 billion in federal grants to develop next-generation electric vehicles and batteries. Yup, as much as electric cars are the future, their rather limited range as well as lack of charging infrastructure at the moment might be a stumbling block to its proliferation, but good thing more companies like Leviton are starting to come up with devices like the CT2100 electric car charging station, having put it through the FCC’s paces recently. Many speakers welcomed the chance to talk about something other than the state's economic woes. In a year that GM and Chrysler endured bankruptcy protection and announced the closure of nearly 30 plants in the US and Canada, the news was as much a relief as celebration for the politicians and workers who attended the news conference. The state of Michigan last year approved $135.2 million in tax incentives for those sites and others.
