Chevrolet Volt

In this blog I will tell about a new hybrid that Chevrolet has come out with. The car that they have come out with is called the Volt because it is a hybrid. When these cars first came out they were very expensive but with advances in technology they can make the parts needed for cheaper and with less wastes.

What a hybrid is, is a car that can run on both electricity and gasoline. The reason that hybrids were created was to save gas for the people who have them. Also it created more jobs because not everyone can work on them because of all of the technology incorporated in them..

Because these cars are electric they people working on them must wear protective rubber gloves. This is one of the few setbacks to being a hybrid owner but the savings will be a great help in this tough economy. With the rising gas prices Americans need all the help they can get when it comes to saving money.

Even though I like cars with more muscle I would drive this sleek car. For 34 miles per gallon and 375 miles per tank of gas I think just about anybody would too.

  1. I want a hybrid. I'd be interested in knowing about the sporty hybrids and truck versions coming out. Also, you repeat "the car they came out with" twice in the beginning. Good information. Although, you should give credit to where you got the info, not just the photos.
