Although not 100% electric The Chevrolet volt is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle that can also be considered an electric vehicle because of its drivetrain design. The Chevy Volt operates as any other electric vehicle on the road right now except that it has a gasoline generator to extend the Volt's rang to more than 300 miles (483 km) but only after using the all-electric range initial 40 miles (64 km) stored in its on-board lithium-ion batteries, which are charged by connecting it to an electrical outlet.
According to General Motors a full charge for the Chevrolet Volt initial 40 miles will take approximately eight hours from a standard North American 120 V household outlet and less than three hours if using a standard 240 VAC outlet.
