![]() Toward the end of its life, the Chevy Volt was getting better and better on an all-electric range. While the fleet is slightly bigger, the Volt has been on the road for two more years. Hopefully, the percentage will go down with the increase in electric range that came with the 2016 Volt, which now has a fully electric EPA rating of 53 miles.įor comparison, Tesla’s global fleet of roughly 150,000 vehicles travelled over 2.6 billion electric miles. It’s an interesting statistic, which shows that the Volt successfully replaced with electric miles 1.5 billion miles that would have normally been gas-powered, but it also highlights the need for fully electric vehicles since GM’s Volt fleet still used gas for an important 40% of its total mileage. As we learned in 2016, GM delivered its 100,000th Chevy Volt in the US and the fleet racked up 1.5 billion electric miles on a total of 2.5 billion. ![]() “But at the end of the day, if we can get the battery chemistry vertically integrated, correct, and cost-effective, and our control systems are taking everything we’ve learned from Bolt and Volt on how to use the battery to get more range and be cost effective… the customer is going to be much, much happier by doing a pure EV than a stopgap. I love the Volt I was one of the early buyers of the Volt, and I get a lot of emails from Volt buyers and I get it,” said Reuss. It was killed in late 2018 in favor of an all-electric future. The Chevy Volt was a popular hybrid car from General Motors.
