Posted June 4, 2008
GM has announced that their Chevrolet volt electric car is on track for a 2010 launch.

The volt has a range of 40 miles on battery power and for longer journeys it uses a small (1 liter) gas engine to power a 53KW generator that keeps the batteries topped up once battery level gets down to 30%.
The volt seats 4, has a top speed of 120mph, and is expected to cost between $30,000 and $40,000.
