The Volt is not a hybrid! It is a plug-in electric with a gasoline range extender (generator). The generator is not connected to the drive wheels; the Volt is driven by an electric motor only. The generator provides the electricity when the batteries deplete (25 to 45 miles per charge is what we've observed.) But worry not (like you have to do in an all-electric like the Nissan Leaf) if the batteries run out. The generator will come on and you can keep going. Example: Trip from Atlanta to Destin in a Volt: no problem. In a Leaf: can't do it.
Example of usage: An employee here lives 30 miles from the dealership. Plug it in at work and it's gas-free (costs about $2.00) to get home. This particular Volt hasn't seen a gas station in weeks! The potential "gas mileage" is unlimited if you keep it plugged in!
6 2012 Chevrolet Volts are currently on the lot, ready for delivery for $339 to $399/month! (See below) It's a 36-month lease with $1,000 out-of-pocket. 10,000 miles per year are allowed. The leasing company retains the $7,500 tax credit to buy down the cost. The lessor adds $2,500 at the end of the lease if you want to buy it out. However, the idea of a lease is to walk away from it after three years. The 6 available for this special:
