Gasoline engine works only to charge the battery, rather than drives the wheels.
General Motors electric car claimed his creation, the Chevrolet Volt, can walk as far as 64 miles without using gasoline. Travel as far as it only requires electricity stored in batteries.
The new Volt will use a gasoline engine after passing through 64 miles. That was only to charge the battery, not to move the wheels like other hybrid cars.
When at home, to fill the lithium-ion battery powered 16-kWh is very easy. Stay plugged into the mains. It only took three hours until the battery is fully charged, even shorter if the battery is not depleted completely.
By simply relying on the battery, Volt can produce maximum power of 150 hp and 370 Nm of torque. Power is able to move the Volt up to 161 kilometers per hour speed.
GM managed to complete the development of commuter cars in just three years. Faster than the original plan, 8-10 years. In a test conducted GM, Volt acceleration 0-100 km / h can be reached in 9 seconds.
To achieve the target range as far as 64 miles without gasoline and emissions, GM's engineering design should maximize the Volt. Therefore, GM's designers spent hundreds of hours in wind tunnel (wind tunnel) to test the parts of the body. Start panel in front body, rear spoiler, until the outside rearview mirror.
"Chevy Volt is the result of engineering design the best aerodynamic vehicles GM has ever produced," claims Rick Wagoner, Chairman and CEO GM.es the wheels.
