Chevrolet Volt will not be eligible for HOV-lane access until mid-2012

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Hybrid , Sedan , Government/Legal , Hatchback , Chevrolet , Nissan , Electric Prospective owners of the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf shouldn’t get too excited about driving in California carpool lanes as soon as they take delivery. Late Tuesday night California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed SB 535 into law, extending access to the high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes to certain very low and zero emissions vehicles. This new class of vehicles known as Enhanced Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicles (enh-ATPZEVs) and includes plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles like the Leaf and Toyota’s Prius PHEV.

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Government/Legal California commuters will either celebrate or curse SB 535, a new law that extends hybrid and alternative-fuel vehicles’ usage of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes in the Golden State. Introduced by Sen. Leland Yee and signed into law by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the new law expands the ability for hybrid, electric and natural-gas powered vehicles fitted with the ubiquitous yellow bumper stickers to drive solo in the carpool lanes during designated hours.

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Hybrid , Sedan , Videos , Chevrolet , Electric Translogic Episode 5.4 – Click above to watch video after the jump Our brothers from another mother over at Translogic just released their latest episode yesterday, episode 5.4 for whoever’s counting. Host Bradley Hasemeyer spent a day with General Motors at the automaker’s Milford Proving Ground driving the 2011 Chevrolet Volt and came away with some heretofore unknown tidbits of information about the series hybrid. For one, in addition to Eco, Normal and Sport modes, the Volt will have what’s called Mountain Mode that allows it to climb any grade in the country. A GM engineer says they checked to be sure its Mountain Mode was adequate for any grade in the States and we have proof of at least one major mountain the Volt can climb

2011 Chevrolet Volt has knock sensor, can run on regular gas

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Hybrid , Sedan , Chevrolet , GM 2011 Chevrolet Volt – Click above for high-res image gallery When General Motors announced pricing for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt last week, one new technical detail grabbed some attention. Vehicle line director Tony Posawatz was apparently the first exec to mention to the press that the range-extending engine in the Volt had been calibrated to run on premium gasoline . There have been some question about what happens if you put regular gas in the tank and whether that would damage the engine.
