The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors and deliveries began in mid December 2010.

The Volt's propulsion system is based on GM's Voltec electric automobile platform, which differs from GM's earlier BAS Hybrid and Two-Mode Hybrid systems. The car's 16 kW·h (10.4 kW·h usable) lithium-ion battery pack can be charged by plugging the car into a 120-240VAC residential electrical outlet using the provided SAE J1772-compliant charging cord.No external charging station is required After the Volt battery is depleted, a small 4-cylinder internal combustion engine burns premium gasoline to power a 55 kW (74 hp) generator to extend the Volt's range.[8] The electrical power from the generator is sent primarily to the electric motor, with the excess going to the batteries, depending on the state of charge (SoC) of the battery pack and the power demanded at the wheels. The distribution is controlled by the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle.
