Chevy Volt Promises a Hefty 230 MPG Rating
General Motors CEO Fritz Henderson has announced ad very interesting piece of news today regarding Chevy Volt. It has been promissed that Volt will have a staggering 230 MPG rating in the city, but apperently this is not as simple as GM would like you to believe. The EPA has released a new way for calculating and determining a fuel economy standard for extended-range EVs like the Volt, and this is the system that has shown Chevy’s unusually large triple digit MPG rating.
Unfortunately, the promised November ship date looks like will slip again, and this time to an unknown month and year. Another interesting fact is that report has also noted that there is “no assurance” that it will qualify for any remaining energy loans to develop advanced fuel technology automobiles. Here are some words directly out of the report regarding this: “Our competitors and others are pursuing similar technologies and other competing technologies, in some cases with more money available; there can be no assurance that they will not acquire similar or superior technologies sooner than we do.”
Hmm Very interesting, right?
