The Volt electric car is produced in Michigan and is powered by an electric motor with a battery charge range of about 45 miles, which is suitable for most daily commutes.The Volt has a quiet on-board gas generator, which recharges the battery to allow for an extended range of about 376 miles. This eliminates the range anxiety often associated with electric vehicles because the Volt can constantly replace the electric battery charge, and is the only electric vehicle produced by any manufacturer with this capability. Therefore unlike the Nissan Leaf you only need one car that you could drive to New York and back, as you don't need to plug it in to recharge the battery that powers the electric engine. The Volt performs very well in traffic and is rated at 101 mph top speed. The 2013 Volt is rated at 98 MPGe combined fuel economy which customers often exceed by large margins.
