To say the Chevrolet Volt has reached a mainstream tipping point would be an understatement. The Chevy Volt has spilled directly into the mainstream with authority. The environmentally friendly Volt provides amazing fuel economy, excellent performance and all sorts of high-tech goodies.
A Quantification of the Chevrolet Volt’s Mass Appeal
The Chevrolet Volt has breached the 100,000 sales mark in the United States. This is quite the achievement for a fairly diminutive and somewhat plain-looking sedan. Though the Volt isn’t the sportiest looking ride on the market, is has just enough style to make the vehicles’ owners beam with pride. The Volt offers much more than fuel efficiency and a straightforward design with universal appeal. Volt drivers enjoy all sorts of fun and helpful amenities.
The vehicle features niceties like Apple CarPlay support, a 4G LTE WiFi connection, smartphone integration and Android Auto. Additional features include automatic climate control, OnStar service, text-message notifications, Siri Eyes Free, keyless ignition, a 6-speaker sound system, an 8-inch touchscreen, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and an array of optional add-ons. Add in the fact that the Volt provides an extremely enjoyable driving experience, a 53 mile electric range and a 420 mile range between gas fill-ups or complete recharges and it is easy to see why so many people have plunked down their hard-earned money for this sweet ride.
The Chevrolet Volt is a True Trailblazer
The Volt’s 100,000-plus sales total is a big deal. The Volt’s engineers should be lauded for creating the first automobile featuring electrification technology to sell with considerable success. Head to your city’s central business district or even the suburbs on the outskirts and there is a good chance you will see at least one Chevy Volt. Chevy representatives are especially proud of the fact that the Volt will serve as the launch point for the rest of the automaker’s electric vehicles. The Chevy Volt has cleared quite the wide pathway for the company’s first long-range electric automobile with an affordable price: the Chevrolet Bolt EV.
The Environmental Impact of 100,000 Chevrolet Volts on Our Roads
More than 100,000 Chevrolet Volts are cruising the streets of the United States. These vehicles make quite the positive impact on our increasingly sensitive environment. In total, Volt sales have resulted in a savings of about 58 million gallons worth of gasoline. Volt owners have driven a grand total of 2.5 billion miles. About 1.5 billion of these miles were driven in EV mode. Also known as charge-depleting, EV mode is a vehicle operation mode that derives power from the built-in battery pack rather than the engine that requires the burning of gasoline. The burning of gasoline creates harmful pollution emitted directly into the air through automobile tailpipes. The 2017 Chevrolet Volt will empower the typical owner to enjoy upwards of 1,000 miles worth of driving before a gas fill-up is necessary. This figure will hold true across posterity as long as Volt owners fully charge their vehicle with regularity.
