High Gas Prices Killing You? Relief Is On the Way.. The Volt is HERE

Relief from the pump desperately needed? Tired of $4+ gas prices? Help may finally be here with the first unveiling of the Chevy Volt.

While we full-well expect the American automakers to get bailed out via Government bonds, hopefully GM can stem the tide and turn things around, starting with the Volt.

Production is scheduled to begin late 2010 for models in the United States

The actual vehicle looks extremely polished, and hopefully this won’t be a “prototype” and this vehicle will actually ship in 2010. And to potential haters, cars are typically released ‘late’ in each year. 2009 models are being released right now, so this Volt will most likely bear the 2011 model edition.

The actual vehicle is expected to have 40 miles of gas-free driving you get after charging the car’s 220 internal lithium battery cells.

And, as far as charging goes, “Charging the Volt about once daily will consume less electric energy annually than the average home’s refrigerator and freezer units.”

Take a look around the interior in this video below, I’m pretty excited about this bad boy:
