And when it comes to being plugged in, Chevy Volt will be designed to use a common household plug."
Heres the link to the web page - http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/
So is this thing going to be able to recharge while driving?? The way GM/Chevy states it on the Chevy web page it makes one think that the engine will recharge the batteries while driving. |
That's what I thought as well... 
GM better clear this up or there's going to be some negative publicity...
