Volt Teaser Keeps Things Quiet
The Chevrolet Volt’s whole MO from Day 1 has been doing less with more. That’s not just with fuel either as the Volt delivers in many areas its owners and envious onlookers will soon come to see for themselves. First up on the agenda is noise pollution. Pollution doesn’t just come from the expulsion of CO2 from exhausts pipes across the nation though, it also comes from those fart cannons that all of us Tuners religiously bolt to the rear of our cars the second we bring a new set of wheels home. We can’t help it though, the added hp and accompanying throaty tone is just too tempting to resist. But what if the complete lack of noise could draw as much attention as an increase in sound?
The Volt doesn’t use its gasoline engine for evil but rather uses it for the light side of the force by only starting up to charge the battery that powers this silent wonder. What that means is that while cruising on battery power, that either comes in when you charge it at your house or from the reserve engine, the Volt gets Go-Go Gadget silent. We know seeing is believing though so check out the latest teaser video posted below to get a feel for just how quiet the new all-electric Chevrolet Volt runs.
What’s your take? Do you think less could possibly be more when it comes to eliminating sound coming from your ride?
