Voltec is GM's name for its Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle technology, something that will be offered to consumers when its first electric vehicle hits the market in late 2010. Featuring a lithium-ion battery pack, GM expects that sales for its Volt line will be decent, but the automaker understands that the technology needs to be expanded to power other vehicles, hence the news that the Chevy Orlando could be next.
General Motors has just put a price tag on the upcoming 2011 Chevrolet Volt. The plug-in compact hatch that's capable of driving 40 miles on a fully charged battery before a gasoline engine kicks in to produce electricity, will be priced at $41,000 (about €31,700 at today's exchange rates) including a destination fee of $720, before any federal tax incentives.
