#1 of 4 Performance Specs on Chevy Volt: What can this thing do? by mustangman911 Jan 09, 2009 (6:55 pm)
Besides being electric, what makes the Volt special? Here are some examples of things I'd like to know: hp, top speed, rpm, cc of the engine, and other things like that on the engine. If there is anything else that you think is special about the Chevy Volt, put it here.

There are descriptions around. But, the "electric" part of the propulsion is a "motor", not an engine. And, electric motors have "rpm & horsepower". In this case, they're variable.

Replying to: gfr1 (Feb 06, 2009 7:58 pm) This info is not for the Volt, but a work truck or SUV that a company is developing for test by PG&E. They are using a 200 kW electric motor for powering the vehicle. Up to 40 mile on a charge, extended range on a 2.0 L or so ICE to run a generator. Interesting info on something that might be similar to the Volt:   http://www.rasertech.com/media/pdfs/Series_PHEV_Drive_System_Flyer_07.pdf   more http://www.rasertech.com/media/movies/html/fev_jan09.html   Scheduled to deliver 2 of the demo units to PG&E in March. Don't know if there will ever be any real consumer vehicles...I like the idea, but getting an affordable, working line on the market is another matter.   Bill
