The Volt is a new concept 5-door car being made by Chevrolet.....and is 100% electric powered. This will be the first car that will rely on 100% battery. Unlike hybrids, that only use electricity to drive the car at low speeds, the volt will be able to drive up to 100mph. This car has been in development for several years. Being the first if its kind, there will obviously be many flaws in the car's design, but still remains as an example of astonishing engineering. GM predicts the car will be ready to be in showcases by 2010, and appear as a 2011 model. The car will cost about $40,000 USD. Since this car produces no gas emissions, you will not have to pay for gas, saving a lot of money, but being electric has its flaws as well. On the battery that runs the enginer, the car will only be able to drive for about 40 miles. To recharge the battery, all you have to do is plug the car in at night!
