GM's Volt of enlightenment - The Irish Times - Wed, Jun 24, 2009

GM's Volt of enlightenment - The Irish Times - Wed, Jun 24, 2009: "Few have been let behind the wheel of GM's new electric plug-in family car but CHELSEA SEXTON got the chance to spend a day behind the wheel of the Chevrolet Volt

GENERAL MOTORS’ Volt has been described as a car that can save the motoring world from its dependency on fossil fuels. Incredible times ahead then.

Due to be sold as a Chevrolet in the US, it will come to Ireland later on as the Opel Ampera.

From its unveiling over two years ago, I’ve wanted to drive it. Having worked on GM’s original electric car, the EV1, I’ve had the right contacts to make a case and have all but made a nuisance of myself with the company, seeking evidence of their sincerity about doing another plug-in car."
