Chevy's volt is interesting you either love the car or you don't get it at all their owners are incredibly loyal and behind me is the first redesign they're going to have to digest this is the gen 2 Chevy Volt first thing you'll notice is a very different look generation 1 certainly didn't sell on looks this one might this is a nice looking car now a few important differences the all-electric range has gone from about 38 miles to now a rating of 50 of course the vehicle runs in various blended mode it is a range extender with a gas engine and electric motor what's happening here is trying to play more to the strengths of what the Volt does for its passionate owners GM depending which press release you read says that their owners drive either 63 or 80% of their miles in the Volt's in pure evey mode so they want to see more electric prowess they're also saying you're gonna get more of a drivers feel from this car this time less of utilitarian field and notably it now seats three across the back row they're four or five in the whole car last time only seated two in the back because the battery hum kind of stuck up in a bad way both sales weren't a thing of beauty last year they came down to about 19,000 from 23,000 a year before in contrast a Nissan Leaf sold many more and is trending up so they've got some work to do this generation 2 car could go a long way toward accomplishing
