According to the Chevrolet, the electric range of this new MPV5 is about 32 miles whereas the range of 1.4-gasoline engine is about 300 miles. A normal household outlet of 120 volt takes almost more than 8 hours for charging but this new “Chevrolet Volt MPV5” consumes only 4 hours for the charging of 240 volt hook-up. Its interior and exterior design has lots of resembles with the “Volt Sedan”. But its front side is really much unique than the “Volt Sedan”. Another amazing thing about this “Chevrolet Volt…” is its minimum resistance of rubber tires. It is the fact that this new “Chevrolet Volt…” is not as amazing as “Flextreme GT/E or Converj” but it can provide a solid mainstream to the General Motors to regain its reputation regarding its “Volt power-train”.
