2011 Chevrolet Volt -- 40 mile AER. Let us pray GM makes it to late 2010 produce it.
Washington -- The Chevrolet Volt was awarded the 2009 Green Car Vision Award(TM) winner by Green Car Journal at The Washington Auto Show.
Competition for the award included PHEVs, BEVs and FCVs. Among the contenders was the elegant Fisker Karma, launching later this year; the Honda FCX Clarity, Honda’s sleek fuel-cell sedan; the MINI E, the BEV conversion of the standard MINI Cooper; and the Mitsubishi I-MiEV BEV.
"The Chevy Volt offers a bold and far-reaching approach that will bring an exceptionally fuel-efficient model to consumers at reasonable cost," says Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and editor of GreenCar.com. "Besides being a great design, the Volt promises 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."
The Green Car Vision Award recognizes the most important vehicle in an award year that best envisions the road ahead, but is not yet on sale. It complements Green Car Journal's Green Car of the Year award, which was won by the 2009 VW Jetta TDI at last years LA Autoshow.
"Chevrolet's Volt is a milestone vehicle that re-thinks the drivetrain of the future," says Cogan. "The Volt is one of the most anticipated vehicles in the auto industry's 100-plus year history, and when it launches in 2010, it will surely be one of the most coveted vehicles on the road."
