Curious about saving gas and reducing your vehicle emissions, but not quite sure you're ready to invest in a fully-electric vehicle? With the inventory of plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt models we have available here at Key Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac of South Burlington, you can have the best of both worlds, plug-in efficiency with the power of a gas engine when you want it.

As an environmentally-conscious city and state, we know our customers are always on the lookout for a stylish vehicle that can get them to and from work on time, while still helping the Burlington VT area achieve its goal of becoming a "net zero city' over the next 15 years. With Chevy's two terrific electric vehicle (EV) models, the electric-only Chevy Bolt and the hybrid Chevy Volt, achieving those goals is not just easy, it's also fun and attractive.
 
 
POWER AND PERFORMANCE OF THE 2018 CHEVY VOLT
The 2018 Chevy Volt is a five-passenger hatchback model that's perfect for Colchester and Burlington, VT drivers who seek an energy efficient hybrid, but enjoy the power and get-up-and-go of a traditional gas engine. The Volt can go from zero to 60 mph in just 8.4 seconds, thanks to its unique combination of a 1.5-liter gas engine that works with two electric motors. The whole system has a total output rating of 149 horsepower, which is an impressive amount of oomph for a hybrid vehicle.

Best of all, since it's a plug-in model, it can also travel quite a distance on just electric power alone. Chevy estimates the Volt hatchback can travel around 53 miles on just electricity alone. Compared to its nearest competitors, including the Toyota Prius plug-in, that's about a 50% increase in electric range before the vehicle switches over to hybrid power or requires a re-charge.

Concerned about the re-charging aspect of the Chevy Volt? Don't be. You can install a charger at home, just contact us to order the accessory. Plus, with more than 160 charging stations spread throughout the state of Vermont, and the availability of charging station-locating apps, such as "plugshare," finding a place to re-charge your battery is almost as easy as finding a gas station to refuel a traditional vehicle.
