Will the Chevy Volt really get 230 mpg?
- haseman 17y agoYes, if you don't mind pushing it.

- pkulak 17y agoFor me it would get a lot more than that. I only drive more than 40 miles in a day about a half dozen times a year.
- ars 17y agoYou'll have to pay for the electricity though. I wonder how efficient the onboard generator is. There are losses for sending electricity through power lines, on the other hand gas is expensive due to taxes. I would like to see numbers for KW/gallon for the onboard generator. Then we could compare generating your own electricity to power it, vs storing it from power lines (and don't forget losses in the battery, and self discharge).
- teeja 17y agoGas is also expensive because your engine wastes 4/5 of each gallon you buy.

- farmerbuzz 17y agoMeasuring MPG doesn't make a lot of sense for a car that gets plugged in. Miles per dollar would be a lot more interesting, but with this style of vehicle it depends highly on your daily usage. This is a great marketing hack.
- teeja 17y agoElectric is 4x as efficient as ICE. So could you get from 50mpg to 200mpg? yeah. Will Chevy? no.
- JimmyL 17y agoIn the context of a plug-in hybrid, what does the "gallon" in "miles per gallon" mean?
