Chevy Volt Receives Green Car Vision Award
The Washington Auto Show is off and running and the Green Car Journal awarded its Green Car Vision Award to the Chevrolet Volt. Other finalists for the award were the super sleek Fisker Karma, the Honda FCX Clarity, the MINI E and the Mitsubishi iMiEV.
“The Volt offers a bold and far-reaching approach that promises to bring an exceptionally fuel efficient model to consumers at reasonable cost. When the Volt launches in late 2010, it will deliver exactly what many consumers are asking for – a car capable of driving on zero emission battery power most of the time at pennies per mile, with over 100 mpg possible on longer journeys when electric power from its range extender engine-generator is needed.” (Source: Green Car)
Although the Volt has a delivery date of late 2010, General Motors has had to stop production of the Volt engine facility due to financial woes. If January sales are any indication of what GM can expect this year, the Volt may end up being pushed back to a 2011 release.
