The long awaited Chicago Chevy Volt will be out on the market this November.  Not every dealership will see them, as only 10,000 will be made for 2011, then up to 30,000 for the 2012 car year.  No fear there, as you can go online and get information for ordering a new Volt with a specialist of this model at your local dealership.The Volt will be listed at $41K, which includes many amenities that often are not standard features in other Bensenville used cars.  This MSRP includes a $720 destination fee, eight airbags to keep you safe, Bluetooth, five years of OnStar service and much more!  Another great perk that Chicago Chevy Volt buyers will receive is a federal tax credit.  It’s a maximum of $7,500 and it applies to electric cars that contain battery packs of 16 kilowatt hours or more.  This credit mirrors the government’s focus on not only helping the environment, but lessening our dependence on gasoline.

Right now, there is certainly a big demand for the Volt and for the next couple of years, this demand is going to be greater than the amount manufactured.  The Volt comes with an eight year/100,000 mile warranty on all the car’s electric systems.  This will be a great incentive to buy, as many people are still leery of electric cars and if they’ll still be up to date after a few years, since technology is always changing.  The Volt is a perfect choice if you drive 40 miles or less on your average commute.  If you do, then much of the time you can drive gas free, as the Volt has a 40 mile range on a fully charged battery.

If you are wondering how the performance of the Chevy Volt is, here are some stats to make note of.  The Volt has a kilowatt electric motor of 111 kw.  This is equivalent to a 150 hp gasoline engine.  Not bad, since it’s designed to be more of an energy saving vehicle.  Moreover, according to some Chevrolet staff who have test driven the Volt pre-production, the ride is very smooth and quiet and can go from 0-60 in 9 seconds.  Certainly not the fastest, compared to some Bensenville used cars (the Corvette model for example), but the Volt is in a different class altogether.

The Chevy Volt is a great choice for that green driver who is looking for something different.
