The Volt can go 40 miles on pure electric, after that the E-85 fueled motor kicks in to produce more electricity so the care can travel further. between 300-600 miles on one charge/fuel. This car will in no way fail. We need to support our companies here at home. Think of it like this. If you buy a Japanese car, you sent your money over to them. if you buy American cars our money stays right where it belongs, here in America!
That's not how free trade works. What about my Subaru that's made in Indiana? Those are American jobs. Protectionism makes everyone poorer. Also the Volt did fail. You can buy used ones for $4000.
Im an American but im up in Canada when i saw it. they go by the metric system. they go by Liters instead of gallons and it doesn't say "An American Revolution" at the end of it. i cant seem to find there version on here.
we left the battery the first time was not because the oil company paid us to, we did not have the batterys like we do today, the oldstyle batterys to power a car would weigh like a ton! they tryed solar power panels but whats the use of those if you cant charge at night or on a cloudy day. we have to technology/batteries now to make lighter batterys that can power cars, but i think the best option for a car would be hybrid, i couldnt trust a oversized R/C.
@stichy420 I agree that many cars from GM are built in Canada and Mexico also. If you are willing to buy an American brand vehicle I'm quite sure you would only buy those built here in the states. Most newer American vehicles built in American facility's are very reliable. Maybe your bought a Mexican GM. lmao While GM does owe the American people, the federal government was the one that bailed them out with most people against it.

i really hope so as Toyota and HOnda are becoming arrogant they need competition and im just disappointed big3 is not really giving it to them. they've been losing marketshare the last 10 years thats unforgivable
Chevrolet Volt is very impressive, but no revolution in fuel efficiency. The Chevrolet EV1 was all electric. THAT was 'an American Revolution' that was killed in committee following a Big Oil handshake. Bob Lutz is no hero.
@im1greatman but then you should have brought that up 50 years ago when they started importing Cars. They've been making cars here for more than 35 years and now you think our $ goes there? Where are Benz and BMW come from? Hello? Jag? the popular Land Rover? I can keep going for next 25 mins.
Why would you by this for 40g when you could just buy a community car for about 8g? It's all electric and would handle your 12 mile commute? They have them at all the tourist type towns so the tourists can rent them and buzz around the city etc.
the truth is mine !!!! and you can't handle the truth !!!!! sorry to hit you with the facts !!!! happy easter to you and don't drink to much of the kool-aid with your meal !!!!!
@im1greatman sorry to say that it already has failed, how many units have been sold ?? and the ones that have are now catching on fire , and GM is offering to buy them back !! what we have is here a government subsidised PINTO !!!
let me ask you how it could win those awards when it has not been tested ?? it is a new model , so how do they know how good it is ??? it is like when they gave OBAMA a Nobel Peace Prize , and he just got in office !!!! what did he do to deserve it ???
Look if the Volt was 20g it would be worth it. The gas savings does not justify a purchase at 42g or 30g and yes the price will drop probably to the mid 30s if they last. Remember no one wants them. If I drove the volt only to work and back for I could drive the volt to and from work for 12 years and still would not break even, it's a mathematical looser, they sell the gas mileage but forget the maintenance and initial cost I can say the same thing they say about a bike
Not to be negative, but, Honda And Toyota will probably beat them Just like they did with the prius and insight. And, why is it that garage built EVs average higher miles per charge out of their lead acid powered EVs.

They have increased the tax break to 10g, why because no one is buying GM's or your BS. When you factor in the battery replacement, and you will have to replace it you don't even break even. Call GM ask how much the batteries are. No they will not fall in price either! Go to Walmart and see if they have anytype of battery that has fallin in price. There is no tech here quick reading GM brochure. You have a motor charging batteries that is all. You also loose engineering wise because of weight
The Volt has a 27 year payback, he is garbage. All electric auto's are garbage, they do not make one bit of financial sense. You get less but pay more. Also have higher maintenance costs because of the batteries not to mention the Volt is a limited use auto on it's best day. All hybrids are a product of government manipulation of the auto industry. 43000 for a volt even with the 10g tax refund it is a total looser. To many people have drank the global warming kool-aid Were are the Euro diesels

I love this commercial. Its almost as cool as the original EV1 commercial.
Отличная реклама.
love the music
finally a advert that is unlike the old GM EV1, this ain't scare you away!
And they will be back.
LIKE A ROCK !
With you 100% of the way!

i cant seem to find there version on here.
Where did you see the version without the voice over?
Used Chevy Volts are about $24K and getting cheaper year by year. Sure looks nice in red
el mejor auto hibrido... obviamente tiene que ser de chevrolet... chevrolet (GM) te amo...
Yeah agreed.
Anyone know what the song is called?
oh thats crazy
I just like the commercial

epic commercial.
this version is slightly different then the Canadian version.
Well, American cars aren't bad, it's just that we lost our trust in them in the 90s and its hard to gain back trust.
just a little nudge on the behind and they will FALL
LIKE A ROCK !

@im1greatman Amen
@karp1941 You're right and wrong but I won't argue.
Chevrolet Volt is very impressive, but no revolution in fuel efficiency. The Chevrolet EV1 was all electric. THAT was 'an American Revolution' that was killed in committee following a Big Oil handshake. Bob Lutz is no hero.
Since purchase I've averaged 172MPG in mine. Not that bad on gas IMO.
@@islandfd3s Wow. My comment was eleven years ago. A lot has changed in my own mind since.
@Davo32795 that's toyotas actually
i doubt it
keep dreaming its good to dream
That's funny ;)
hey dekubber, name another car out there that can do it. enough said. this car will do for chevrolet what the prius did for toyota.
@im1greatman but then you should have brought that up 50 years ago when they started importing Cars. They've been making cars here for more than 35 years and now you think our $ goes there?

more part golf cart than car.
TAXPAYER supplied to volt owners $7,500.00 for each electric PINTO !!!!
the truth is mine !!!! and you can't handle the truth !!!!! sorry to hit you with the facts !!!! happy easter to you and don't drink to much of the kool-aid with your meal !!!!!
Really? I didn't notice anything?
@im1greatman sorry to say that it already has failed, how many units have been sold ?? and the ones that have are now catching on fire , and GM is offering to buy them back !! what we have is here a government subsidised PINTO !!!

let me ask you how it could win those awards when it has not been tested ?? it is a new model , so how do they know how good it is ??? it is like when they gave OBAMA a Nobel Peace Prize , and he just got in office !!!! what did he do to deserve it ???
I dont have $45k to enjoy the American REVOLUTION, SAD =(
If Americans shouldn't buy Japanese cars, would you argue that Europeans shouldn't buy GM cars?
Single geared car.
Look if the Volt was 20g it would be worth it. The gas savings does not justify a purchase at 42g or 30g and yes the price will drop probably to the mid 30s if they last. Remember no one wants them.

You can buy used Volts with low miles for less than $20k. I save about $1.2k year in energy, make this one cheap car.
40 miles without using any gas at all. that's nothing special, never mind an American Revolution.
@stichy420 listen over 70 % of GM cars are built in the USA. 2 I bet you would like american cars better than honda's that can't even stop.
@im1greatman And that my kids is the idea of mercantilism, which destroyed Europe.
Not to be negative, but, Honda And Toyota will probably beat them Just like they did with the prius and insight. And, why is it that garage built EVs average higher miles per charge out of their lead acid powered EVs.
New electric trucks someone needs to stop this
why don't you stop tuning in to the lamestream press and try some talk radio, and you will hear some facts !!! march 2013 ????

Buy a Volt and you get to fight with your home owners insurance company about replacing the garage that it burns down...

Chevy Volt.....following in the footsteps of the Ford Edsel. Sorry Obama, nobody wants this POS car.
