Chevrolet Volt didn’t have an easy birth and along the way it faced many ups and downs until it reached the production stage and is now ready to hit the market. This electric car – or hybrid or whatever- runs on pure electricity in town but also has a gas engine generator which acts as a range extender charging the batteries consistently. This feature is what GM is stressing on in this first TV spot for the Volt. That and the fact that this is an American product.
