bascule Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/08/breaking-2011-chevy-volt-revealed/ This is a very interesting car. I don't think I'd purchase a hybrid from Chevy but the concept is quite interesting. The Chevy Volt in a plug-in hybrid, so when you get home you can just plug it into the wall. If you use the car for a short daily commute, this means you don't have to pay for gas and can run it off electricity. I really like this concept and hope to see better manufacturers releasing plug-in hybrids soon.

Pangloss Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 These have come up in discussion here a few times, and I believe there are quite a few PHEVs in the works. The Wikipedia has a full article on them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_hybrid
