The Chevy Volt Concept
By Beth Lowery
GM Vice President, Environment and Energy
I was proud to participate in the unveiling of the Chevy Volt electric car concept today. What a
cool-looking car! As you may know, GM has worked on electric cars for years. We’ve taken a lot of
heat for some of our past decisions on that front, and we’ve been paying attention to our critics. We get it — we’re not perfect, but we’ve learned a lot. The Volt incorporates many of those lessons and represents a giant leap forward.
For instance, we’ve added a range extender using a system we call E-Flex. Basically, it works by using the onboard engine to generate additional energy for the battery. On a long trip, this system would continually charge the batteries, even after the initial battery range is passed.
