2012 Chevy Volt. Electric. 4 Door Hatchback on 2040-cars
Clinton, Connecticut, United States
this is not a hybrid, it is an electric vehicle with a gasoline powered engine that turns on when the batteries run down.
you can plug it into almost any household electrical outlet to recharge the batteries ,with the included 115 volt charger, or you can buy a 230 volt charger . charges in about 10 hours with the 115 volt charger , about 4 hours with the 230 volt charger. you can also use the free public 230 volt chargers that many local governments are installing, or pay to use the ones many businesses are installing. either way, electricity is a lot cheaper then gas. I have been averaging 9 kilowatt hours to charge it. averages 30 miles on a charge. average 300 miles a week for $20.00. if you charge it outside in the cold, you get less miles on a charge. that is just a characteristic of batteries, performance goes down in the cold. in the summer, i was getting 38- 40 miles on a charge. so i would guess, if you charge it in a garage, you will also get 38-40 miles. I am selling it because it is not working out for me. I drive 50 miles one way to work ,so about half of the time i am on gas and i am not saving anything. if you only drive it 30 miles a day, the gas engine never comes on and you never buy gas. I am the second owner. (EDIT) as far as i know, i am the second owner. The auotcheck report says I am the only owner and that it was owned by several dealers, but apparently never sold. the report also does not show anything after i bought it. about 70,000 miles left on the drive batteries warranty. remote start. you can also remote start it from anywhere with ONSTAR and a cell phone. key less , push button start. manual key back up, in case the key fob dies. back up camera, parking collision avoidance alarms,bluetooth. most climate, radio and bluetooth controls are display screen and touch screen. new tires. just got serviced at the chevy dealer. nothing wrong with it. nothing broken. just normal scratches. I have a loan on it, so buyer will have to wait for lien holder to release the title. you can take the car as soon as you pay for it, but it might be a few days for the lien holder to send me the title. these cars sell for $40 -50,000.00 new, so i think it is worth the asking price. you can get one with a cheaper sticker price at a dealer, but i doubt you will drive it off the lot for that price. if you dont like the price, make me an offer. no shipping. if you are out of the area you will have to make your own shipping arrangements. I drive to Norwich area almost every afternoon, so if you live along the way, i can stop by for you to see it and test drive it. I am still driving the car, so i cant give actual mileage . as of today, 30,680. I am estimating it will be around 31,000 during this listing. please dont waste my time with payment scams, I have heard them all. |

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
