Overland Park Chevrolet dealer to offer economically viable Volt

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 16, 2011 -- Your Overland Park Chevrolet dealer, McCarthy Chevrolet, will be offering the economically viable Volt in the near future. With gas prices on the rise, the Volt is an appealing choice for Kansas City used car owners’ next new car.

The Volt is able to run on little to no gas. This car obtains most of its power from electricity. The car is plugged in to recharge its Lithium-ion batteries and, if needed, gas is used in its small internal combustion generator to provide electrical power to run the electric motor while charging the batteries in order to extend range. This gasoline generator can provide the battery with enough power to travel an additional 300 miles more than the 25 to 50 mile range from a single battery charge. This extended range ability gives drivers the security to know that they can make it to their destination without running out of power which can be a concern with a strictly all-electric vehicle.
Gas prices appear to be steadily rising and have risen above the $3 per gallon mark. Former president of Shell, John Hofmeister, is predicting that gas prices could reach $5 per gallon by 2012. Hofmeister believes that rising global demand for gas is driving prices higher. He said that oil demand has been increasing a lot in countries such as India and China. He said that the amount of easily obtained gas will only decrease and drive prices higher.

With gas prices predicted to rise to $5 per gallon, the Chevy Volt becomes an economically wise choice for Kansas City used car owners’ next new car. Your Overland Park Chevrolet dealer, McCarthy Chevrolet, would like to talk to customers about purchasing a Volt.
