Wow so big news for GM. They unveil there new hybrid electric car the Chevy Volt. Now the big news is that claims to have an estimated 230 Miles Per Gallon. This all due to its electric engine. Yes electric engine. The Chevy Volt has an electric and gas engine. So how do they come to this conclusion of 230 MPG? Well research experts say:
Mike Duoba from Argonne National Lab devised a method to determine the MPG of an EREV; first the car is driven from a full battery until it reaches charge-sustaining mode, then one more cycle is driven. If we use the highway schedule, the first 40 miles are electric. One more cycle is 11 more miles. If the Volt gets 50 MPG in charge sustaining mode, it will use .22 gallons of gas for that 11 miles. Thus 51 miles/.22 gallons = 231.8 MPG.
So what the cost of something like this go for? Well MSRP is saying $40,000. But with a government tax credit will drop the price down to about $32,000 which will help more back in taxes. And the reason for the government tax credit is because the car is eco friendly. Now the good news about it is that because of you purchasing this you will get a tax break on the next tax season. Yes you can write this car off as a tax deduction.
Anyway we will see how this turns out when the car is released. So what's your opinion on this leave a comment. And 1 luv
