In order to publicize the newest addition to the Chevrolet fleet, representatives have been traveling throughout the country demonstrating the Chevy Volt, an extended-range electric car. The latest stop? George Mason University.
The Volt has a 25-50 mile range when it is running on electricity. There is also an onboard, gas-powered generator that charges the battery and allows for an additional 300 miles of travel. The car will be available at some dealerships – including the District of Columbia – by the end of the year.
Representatives from Chevrolet were at Mason Tuesday to help students who wanted to test drive one of the several Volts. Douglas Wernert, a Chevrolet Volt communication technician on hand for the drive, said that all the Volts that will be produced in the next year have already been sold.
The Volt is a sedan that includes everything that comes with a standard car such as air conditioning and a radio.
Wernert said the Volt is geared toward consumers who are “more green.”
